I was driving around there each time I was in the neighbourhood, and could not find the street again, as if it was some kind of Tiki version of Diagon Alley. A rewarding urban archeological find indeed. Interesting to view it's current, still Tiki-rich state, noting a few changes: The Tikis now flanking the bridge were initially used as the MAILBOX guardians (BOT p.226, lower corner). And WHERE is the whacky tongueholding fountain Tiki in the middle of page 227? He was on top of the outside water fountain basin to the left of the entrance, pretty hidden by foliage, but I fear so close to the street that it might have fallen victim to theft. I loved that one. Dig the fallen jungle idol, too.
