Was at TV Chicago two days ago, stopping in for a Navy Grog. Chatting with the bartender about things tiki and he says, "We got two of them the managers want to get rid of because we can't use them, they were supposed to go outside but the city won't let them." He proceeds to show me that on the ground in the atrium jungle two carved tikis. One about six feet tall, the other a massive 12 feet tall. He says the big one is really heavy and if I call one of the managers, (John and Allie), they'd probably be glad to let them go for $200.

The atrium was locked, I could see them, but couldn't even get a decent picture. The large one is magnificent. The shorter one I couldn't see well but it looked weathered. [I'll add a picture of the type of tiki the big one is when I get a chance later.]

I'm posting this without calling. I don't know if the bartender knew what he was talking about. But someone with a truck should call and maybe make a score of a lifetime.

If this tip works out for someone, you're welcome and I'll let you buy me a Mai Tai sometime. Good luck.
