As I said before, there is a whole un-researched facet of Tiki restaurant history out there, with all the musicians and performers that intermingled in various venues, all over the States. Most might not have paid as much mind to the decor as we do nowadays, taking it for granted, many did not keep materials like photos or menus, but we had some interesting posts here before, like the one from the dancer Hawaii Kai, a Tiki temple from which very little evidence exists. Likewise, there must be more little Rosetta stones out there in the trunks and attics of participants of the vivid Polynesian floor show community that existed in the heyday of Tiki.
