Kenike, do you know HOW MANY Don B's had that "organic" architecture? I would love to know.

That leaves Corona Del Mar, San Jose, Santa Barbara, Houston, and West Lafayette, Indiana as possible Poly Pop pods.

Houston is (was) a YES!

From my forthcoming article on Houston tiki, a quote by SpaceAge, as found on HAIF:
"I think it was built about 1972 and demolished about 1980. It was a round, onion shaped building with a pond at the entry. You crossed a bridge lighted by gas-fired torches upon entering. The center of the roof had an opening with more gas fired flames. Inside, the concave walls were lined with bamboo and other lush tropical landscaping complete with trickling waterfalls and singing birds."

Sounds like a match to me!
