How about it?

Aside from Trader Vic's in LA being on the mother road not too far from its western end, is there anything tiki on any alignment of Route 66 in any state, aside from the following two minor presences:

A recently constructed moai head at a trailer park in Antares, AZ:

Route 66 Memories, a store with tikis at Rancho Cucamonga, CA: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=16805&forum=2&hilite=route%2066%20memories

There WAS the Polynesian Lounge in Albuquerque, NM, but its gone now and its relics in storage:

I'm pretty sure there is nothing more in CA except maybe a store here or there selling common tiki stuff (Tiki Ti misses 66 by a bit), and I'm very sure about AZ, NM, TX, KS and MO, but I don't know much about IL.

Would there be any tiki, especially bars or restaurants, in Illinois on route 66?
