Update on the Aku Aku in Toledo. I was able to contact the son of Sonny King who appeared at the Aku Aku in 1970. He shared some delightful stories about his father and his association with Jimmy Durante and the "Rat Pack". It would have been a wonderful experience to have seen this man perform.
Further research reveals that the style of architecture of the Aku Aku was called "googie" which was popular throughout the 1950's and early 1960's. Still no photographs to share as of yet.
