Doctor Z and I drive by an apartment on our Saturday garage sale runs that we swear must have been tiki back in the day. Just the A-Frame is left. That could be your Tiki Tai. Have to check it out. Sabu Well, I went by and took a closer look at 20415 Anza today, and sho 'nuff, Sabu - that IS the place we're always talkin' about! However, it looks like it's been a while since it was the Tiki-Tai: despite numerous very large and old Birds-of-Paradise and assorted palms, it is now known as the "Lilyanza". Naturally I wanted to take a look around, but the place is absurdly over-fortified with bars, gates and such. I hung around for a few minutes to see if anyone would go in/out, but no luck... Good to know that our "tiki-sense" was right all along!
