Wellll.....that's why I started this thread, to wet people's appetite for Tiki apartment archeology, and then call their attention to the LOCATING TIKI forum:

If you use the SEARCH function here on TC, just write"apartments" into the keyword box, mark "Subject" just below that, and choose "Locating Tiki" as forum:
Voila, you will get a seemingly endless list of apartment links of which most of them have their addresses listed (..and I am am not talking just about the ones in the well-tread Rosemead corridor :) ).

A tour is a problem in as so far as we would want to explore not only the outside, but also the courtyards and any other nooks of these places. One or two people can be inconspicuous enough to sneak in through left open security gates and take pics and get out again swiftly, but a whole tour group would mean notifying the managers or owners, who for the most case would have no interest to help us. Tiki archeology is a covert mission best undergone in small numbers!

Maybe we should rent a tour bus with a power point projector, and turn it into an "Urban archeology" training camp. I could be lecturing on what to look out for as an apartment explorer while we're on the way, and at each stop we would send out just one team of two, different people each time, who would bring their digital photos back to the bus to view on the ride to the next destination... :D
