As I remember, there was a large neon(?)tiki sign which could be seen from the local highway (290). The local newspaper, Telegram.com (or the Worcester Historical Society or the Worcester Art Museum) may have articles/pix about Aku Aku in their archives. Unfortunately, I never visited the restaurant as I was 'P.T.' (pre-Tiki). There was a "Wind Tiki" restaurant in Worcester a while ago, now 'Sukuro Tokyo'(sp) and possibly a sister restaurant of the same name in Webster, Massachusetts. These establishments were basically Polynesian eateries. I do recall tikified decor probably from the 60s in Wind Tiki but I was busy chasing my preschool kids around the place to notice details. I'll do a bit of research and post my neophytiki-findings. wava5k [ Edited by: wava5k 2007-10-28 17:00 ]
