Tiki Aloha, Torrance, CA (apartments) - Locating Tiki

I was looking forward to seeing this. So sad really that what was probably a very custom Poly-Pop living experience is now a very sad apartment complex. The tiki hut by the pool is gone. I wonder what happened to those "Authentic Polynesian Furnishings" inside each room. That tiki on the cover is in the classic style by that mysterious carver who did a lot of the South Bay apartments. The ridges on the nose and the high pec muscles on his chest are dead giveaways. I'm putting together an e-mail with photos of his work and sending it to Bob and LeRoy at Oceanic Arts to see if they have any leads. They believe there were at least 5 carvers doing work for apartments in the South Bay at that time. Thanks again for posting this brochure. The names on the inside will help my archeological explorations. Sabu
