Thanks for the welcome, everyone ! I've posted a few Tiki and sorta-Tiki things around the Wichita area. I added a photo to Mo-Eye's thread on Sidman's South Seas; Plus, I started threads on Riverside Perk and the Charles Shoots Fire Station #10. (Yes, a "Tiki" fire station for the Wichita Fire Department.)

There was an old Tiki lounge downtown that sat vacant for a long time. I know it was a Tiki lounge because that's all the original sign said. :) Now, an antiques store occupies the building. I may have to do some digging at city hall to find out what Tiki business was at that location.

As for "The Book of Tiki," I plan on getting a copy someday. But, since "Tiki Style" is a condensed version of "Book of Tiki" (and about 1/10th of the price), I decided to settle for now. Having a copy of "Tiki Modern" also helps make up for it.

Well, I'm going to dig in to that Martin Denny CD I just happened to encounter at Borders today. Thanks again for the welcome.
