Just thought I would write that the Tiki Aloha is being striped of what was left of it's Tikiness. Today they had roofers start removing all the roofs. Along with that they are tearing off the outrigger beams and I doubt very much that they will be replaced. Tomorrow they will be removing the rest of the roofs and trim and most likely that which is on the two peaks in the front. I would not be surprised if they remove the decorative bamboo there.

Only thing left are the bamboo styled posts at the front entrance and most of the rope is gone from those. And the tiki carved support posts. It's very sad since this bit of Tiki architecture was the biggest reason for choosing this apartment complex. Given how badly this place has been run I do not feel bad about leaving.

If they remove the tiki posts while I am still here I will update at that time. I know people still come by to try and take photos. No point if it's almost all been removed.
