My wife's uncle Jim Bozorgmehr built the Brown Pelican back in the early 80's. He saw the location and decided to build his restaurant there. The Brown Pelican was my first paid tiki job . Jim was a unique great man and passed away at the beginnig of the year. He developed a casino and country club on a lake in Iran . He remembered going to a tiki place in Hollywood the 40's I think. He was an old school sportsman and was the first to water sky in the old country.

Sorry for the OT story but I will always be thankful for my first tiki job and the man who hired me.
