Here's the story A 900-ft. long pier originally known as the South Shore Fishing Pier, built in 1960, was bought by Frank and Jo Byars in the mid-’60s and renamed Pier Kahiki. It was across from their famed attraction Tiki Gardens, and the Byars wanted it primarily for the parking lot. The pier attracted serious fishermen until it was closed after being badly damaged by Hurricane Agnes. An aerial photo postcard. And some photos of the pier after Byars turned it into the Pier Kahiki I spied on ebay. Love this fish logo. DC
