There is no denying that the Mai Kai, Kahiki, and other great tiki temples
pointed out that the tiki/tropical/Hawaiiana craze was (not just) a California
craze, but all over North America, and even into Mexico and Europe a bit.
But....
The over abundance (i.e. in every corner of Cal.) of Tiki/Tropical/Hawaiian- bars, restaurants, hotels, motels, is(WAS) just staggering.

True dat, but Florida was a serious hotbed of Tiki back in the day....maybe even on par with California....BigBro ?
As far as what's still remaining, nothing comes close to the Mai Kai for over the top, original Tiki-ness.
