A story of Tiki splendor, decadence and devolution all in one. What bad timing to open that place! And really an example of how "the establishment" was out of touch with the times and did not see that the days of such elaborate Tiki Temples were numbered... Did you find out anything about the restaurant that went in there after and tried a wild game menu, like antelope and such? Did you talk to Nancy who was one of the few Tikiphiles who got to talk to George Nakashima before his untimely demise? Have you talked to Jane Murray aka Tiki Fish? She's a very funny writer who was a passionate Mauna Loa scholar in the early years of Tiki Central. You can reach her thru her website, Tikifish.com Chub is an ex-pat Detroitian here who's been collecting Mauna Loa ephemera too.
