Georgia Mountains Yield Strange Tiki Hybrids - General Tiki

These forgotten gems were associated with the rise of automotive travel and tourism. The youngest of the buildings dates from the early 1950s and was called the "Cherokee Indian Trading Post" The place is abandoned but a care taker lives on site. The Tikis are bolted to the porch and received a dose of "war paint." The one on the left is heavily weathered but the one on the right is in fairly decent shape. I laughed at how the artist emphasized the boobs...it also has big feet, almost like a "tiki Sasquatch." This is a great site that has been preserved in time due to the re-route of Highway 17. The Tallulah Gorge State Park and a developing Rails to Trails project will soon breath new life into the property...true mid-20th Century "pioneer kitsch." Enjoy! Swamp Weathered but still smilin' We can't live without a little feminine support. Check out the bottle caps for the eyeballs.
