Very cool, Scott, the Makai must have been part of this huge condo/housing development:

The amazing Tahitian Resort Motel....

....also must be part of it. There is another article about the birth of this vast Polynesian township in there.( I still haven't figured out how to copy and paste these articles).

All the info on Tiki Gardens must be mind boggling for you! It seems they had something about that place in every other St.Petersburg Times!:

It just kills me to see all this great Tiki News and have NO IMAGES for it. Would have loved to have seen that boat and its crew... :)

P.S.: I just noticed the links are not active past the commas, so they lead to other articles. Just copy and paste into that link everything from the comma on, and refresh, and it'll get you there.
