Tiki Archaeology: Moon Islander, South Titusville, Florida - General Tiki

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Sun, Apr 24, 2011 2:37 PM Thanks for the Makai pics, Tom, it is great to see the Tiki sign all fixed up again, after it had been destroyed by that bad hurricane. When I travelled the area in 2005 to photograph the various hotels for Tiki Modern, it was down, or I would have shown a close up of it. All I had was that carved piece of wood in the lobby. :) Judging by this 80s brochure photo of the lobby, the Makai also sported some Witco decor (note "Female Dancer" ...and spear!) once, which by the time of my visit was non-existent: But the picture suggest that there might have been more Tiki stuff around the place at one point - do you remember any of that? I am sure you had nothing better to do on your honeymoon than marvel at the burned wood Tikis in the place! :D
