Lucky, you are so right.

I was the original manager of the Thor Stor, and it was Thor and I who designed and built the first one. People do want old Hawaii. We would hear that comment everyday. People who weren't even interested in the art or other tiki stuff would tell us that the Thor Stor was the only thing in Waikiki that actually looked Hawaiian.

I remember one guy coming in, looking all confused, and finally saying "I don't know exactly what you're doing or what the hell is goin' on in here, but this is the type of stuff that I want to see in Waikiki."
