Thanks for taking the time to post them all. Here is a postcard from the Tropics showing the south seas interior. I think this one was in the Book of Tiki too. Here is the description from the back of the card. Another establishment with the old rain on the roof trick. Here is a postcard showing the Hotel Wolverine with the Tropics building next door. And finally, in fine Detroit style (a-la Chin Tiki) the demolition of the hotel and Tropics buildings. It is now a parking lot for the new baseball park. DC
