If these statues could talk, they would have enough material to write a script.
I heard there were some crazy antics and parties that went on there back in the day.
Steven Crane purchased The Tropics tiki bar in 1953 and changed the name to The Luau.
Movie star Johnny Weismuller (who played Tarzan) was known to dive into The Luaus
waterfall lagoon after consuming a zombie or two .In tribute to the Tropics three
monkeys, Steve Crane used what I thought was three , but apparently it was four
cannibal style carvings.
