Bluemound Road in Brookfield, Wisconsin Apparently a restaurant AND motel, it was a modern A-frame with Tiki & torch signage. Back then (mid 90s), I actually got ahold of someone by phone (SU 6-8070 on the match book, but I guess I called information) who told me he had slides from way back when the Tikis were being carved for it. I always regretted that I did not follow up on this contact. Now young men, go forth and seek out the remnants of the LEILANI !
