I came across this phone book add last summer while doing research at the local library.

I got my camera and set out to investigate this Tiki Village of the past. When I arrived i was very disappointed. There was very little Tiki Modern left in this place. I waited till some local villagers were going inside then slipped in behind them through the locked gate. Again disappointed I didn't even take any pictures. I had other archaeological projects that were more important so I filed this place away.

Recently I received this postcard image of the Lanai from the author of "Stockton in Vintage Postcards", Alice van Ommeren. Thank you Alice! The postcard lists Modern Tropical Living and is postmarked 1967. I'll revisit this place, take some pics to show a before and after perspective.

Happy Hunting! :)
