Trader Vic's, St. Louis, MO (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

My Uncle took my sister and I there for dinner when I was about 4 years old. That was in 1972. I was in absolute awe of the large Tikis outside, my sister had to pull me away from them. We saw the fire dancers and ate "Polynesian" Chinese food. It is one of my favorite childhood memories. On another note, I may have a piece of the TV's. I was junk shopping on Cherokee Street in St. Louis when I found a two sided Tiki. It is the same Tiki carved on TV's wooden door. It looks like some kind of decorative piece for a railing or the like. I will have to post a picture at some point because I would like to know more about it. Any way thanks for bringing back some great memories. Cheers! Scott
