I'm from Edmonton, could swear the Tiki place I knew as a child was called the Beachcomber, and it was in the Sheraton Caravan Hotel downtown. If anyone finds ANYTHING (menu, swizzles, postcards...) from this place - well, I'd walk over hot coals wearing nothing but my wallet. Tikifish, Vancouver may once have had Tiki, now it has jack, with the exception of the Waldorf's CLOSED bars, which are in a rotten neighbourhood anyway - I wouldn't be attending regularly even if they were open, it'd be all, er, "skids" is the Toronto term I believe. So don't feel too left out. The object here is for all us Canuck Tikiphiles to move either to SoCal or the Islands, but for now I dream and collect... aloha, emspace.
