Tiki Archeology - The Aloha Lounge - General Tiki

(Which doesn't detract at all from my enjoyment of the photo) I'm going to vote with your uncle against your dear aunt as to this place being at Mr C's (don't hit me). The brochure mentions several exotic-sounding rooms, but no "Aloha Lounge". Plus the tiki torches on the Mr C's brochure don't match the model of the tiki torches in front of the Aloha Lounge. Also, I doubt if they would have mixed both Milan Guanko and Andres Bumatay tikis at the same place - I think they usually had one artist contracted per building. I still vote for a beach-side hotel with a small Polynesian-themed lounge attached. I keep hunting on E-bay, because I know a matchbook or postcard from the Aloha Lounge is bound to turn up. If any of you find it first - please let me know where this is. Thanks. Sabu
