Well it's like this BigBro, to me Tiki is just one of the many interesting roads among the different streets and avenues of mid-century pop culture. Sometimes I'm gonna take the opportunity to make an unplanned detour when the "car" happens to be near a fun neighborhood. Don't worry though, I haven't lost sight of the original destination. :)

With that analogy, I did have the opportunity this weekend to conduct some Tiki Central field work. I was in the vicinity of Pico Rivera, so I made a detour and took these photographs of the Lancer Motel that you had suggested earlier.

While I didn't get a chance to talk to the motel's management, one of the guests of this fine establishment was happy to speak with me:

"Hey, what the fuck are you taking pictures of !!"

Not to worry, I know how to charm unfriendly natives when on expedition.

With captured prize in hand, I capped the afternoon off with a celebratory Navy Grog at the Bahooka. There I ran into Mr. and Mrs. Sperm Whale and got a copy of the Hard Riders' CD. Nice !!

Well now I really am tapped out for ideas for this thread. I'm guessing this is my last post. I think however we can look forward to BigBro's Witco post to end all Witco posts.

It's been fun kids. Aloha !!
