Oh really, it went to Chin's? It's a huge f#$%in' bar, right? With Chinese coins embedded in resin? That must have been quite a moving job to get it over to Livonia....

Well if they got that thing out of there, it proves that the the Chin Tiki must be an empty shell by now. They must be sitting on a bunch of cool Witco. Wonder where all the plastic plants went.

The difficulty with getting pictures of a Tiki temple being torn down is that no one knows what day the wreckers will do it. Wonder if there is some kind of permit office that can give that info...

the chins livonia location is way too small to house the whole thing..they must have cut a part of it out and installed it that way...any witco and tiki worth salvaging is already either in the chins livonia location or being stored in marlin chins garage at his house (according to marlin himself)...i doubt there's anything left worth salvaging from the place except moldy plastic plants. The chins are well aware of the collectability of tiki stuff and i don't think they left any behind.
