Island Breeze, Gardena, CA (apartments) - Locating Tiki

I appreciate the fact that the original sign still exists though. Three entrances like this one. Barbed wire and security gates. This time I hung out in the back and waited. Finally someone had to dump trash in the dumpsters out back. I held the gate for him and he let me in. There's a pool, but no tikis around it. The only tikis left in the whole complex are the posts at this standalone office a-frame: Same carver who did the tikis and posts at the Islander in Gardena, the Tiki Aloha in Torrance, and the Kala Kai in Lomita. A view of the carvings on the back of the posts: I found this a satisfying end to a good day of tiki apartment hunting. Sabu
