I made it out to Tiki Lee's for the first time on Saturday. First of all, let me say that the Charleston Antique Mall is difficult to find... And once you do find it, it is very difficult to find out how to park there (the address is on Charleston, but the store is not actually accessible via car from Charleston). Once you do figure out how drive there (in my case it was mostly a matter of luck), and you find your way into the Antique Mall, there is nothing to help you find the tiki room. The Charleston Antique Mall is a very maze-like structure, with little organization. I have to say though, even with all the difficulty actually getting to the place, IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

I heard exotica coming from a stereo, and I knew I was finally in the right place. I was totally alone in the shrine to all things tiki---no Tiki Lee to be found--- but maybe I'll run into him next time. I was totally free to explore the room at my leisure, and explore I did! I ended up buying two prints (one of which was a Doug Horne), which ate up most of the $100 I brought with me. I left happy, and will definitely return again!

(The empty space in the upper left is from the print I purchased!)
