Some of the above places that painted their Tikis were still under the original ownership. Please realize that most of that painting was done with GOOD INTENTIONS. People get tired of a thing, their tastes and perceptions change. People FORGET what it was that they liked about something in the first place. Tiki veterans are no exception. Plus, do not kid yourself to think that all owners necessarily did understand or were aware of Tiki as a style. Often it was the designers and the carvers that were the determining factor in maintaining the stylistic quality of a place. Nowadays there is the added small community of us crazies that are the only ones that give a rats ass about it. :) [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2008-04-18 08:32 ]
