It's my kind of town, Chicago is. I find it to be the most tiki. Although my thinking has recently proven flawed, I believe that the true feeling of tiki is escapism. In Cali and Florida, with real palm trees it is easy to believe that say... the Bahooka is where it is. The Tiki Ti belongs there. Trader Vic's, the Tonga room (went there for some prom), the Islander and the what have you all fit in perfectly in my mind. But Chicago... some sort of oasis in the middle of the USA absolutely captured my fancy. Chicago is the raddest tiki city in the WORLD. LA is cool too;)
