Hey! Good call bigbrotiki! I've talked of this place with a fellow lake surfer about, yes, tiki bars of old in Milwaukee... I remember seeing the outside and marveling at the tikis and torches and also when they tore through the place... a big pile of rubble... I was younger and not so wise in the ways of Polynesian Pop... This is what became of the once huge a-frame... it is now just an ugly concrete restaurant with big windows... Bluemound Gardens Restaurant The motel is just a refurbished Days Inn... sigh... I did some digging and found a few pictures online of what it has become... I have no idea if anyone has pictures of the long lost urban paradise... thank you for spurring my memory, though... There is another long lost Wisconsin tiki bar in the pages of The Book of Tiki... Judges Beyond the Reef in Brookfield, WI... sorry, I'm only 33 and have no memories of this one... Aloha! [ Edited by: Lake Surfer on 2003-02-19 23:25 ] |
