Ports O' Call, Dallas, TX (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

Ports O' Call was really big news when it opened in 1960 so the Dallas Morning News archive proved invaluable from that time period. The problem that I ran into was that there are no archives available between 1977 & 1983, which includes the time when Ports shut it's doors. Repeated calls to the Dallas Morning News have gotten me nowhere. There's probably some good info buried somewhere in there. D Magazine and Dallas Magazine were my other two big sources of info.
