Tiki Village (Mobile Home Park), Tavares, FL (other) - Locating Tiki

This is located in the middle of the state, in a area of old lakeside resorts. I was shocked to find this location, as there is no tiki in this part of florida, as that area was not one of the hip spots, during the Tiki era. I talked to a couple of the residents, and they said it used to have carved tiki's and a tiki hut, but they fell vitim to Florida hurricanes, rot, and termites. They did keep the great signs, and have kept them restored, as the residents love the "exotic" name. I am following up a lead on one surviving tiki statue which may be in private hands, nearby.
