Enter the Tiki - a foundation towards a larger vision (as I see it today and I like what I see so far.)

My suggestion is fine tuning - inspired by a So Cal native (myself) noticing you're from Tulsa, which is cool 'cause I happen to be in Norman on a visit, sitting with a lap-tap trying to research historical polynesian-pop in and around Norman, Oklahoma City and Tulsa of course.

critiki is a great resource generally so I start there and then of course I check Tiki Central.

Not much is found on critiki - although important as a resource for names and locations of long-gone bars and restaurants etc. Now I know to look for when researching classic Oklahoma tiki:
the Outrigger Club at the Rio Motor Hotel of Oklahoma City, the Outrigger Club at the Clayton House Hotel of Ardmore, the Club Trade Winds at the Tulsa Trade Winds Motor Hotel, the Cultured Pearl of Tulsa etc.

On Tiki Central I find some pictures of memorabilia including post-cards, ashtrays and matchbook covers.
Here's where you, Ryan, have a fantastic opportunity to tailor-fit your website to your identity. As one example, find us (your website audience) that elusive color night-time photo of the Trade Winds Motor Inns... in other words find us interesting new information/images/newspaper accounts of the polynesian-pop of Oklahoma history.

So now I ask - "What's the story regarding the Outrigger Club mug on critiki?"
or - "What's Frankoma's full inventory with the Club Trade Winds in Tulsa?"

Carry On Ryan!!
