I think there was a Poly Pop place opened in Louisiana in one of the Dinkler hotels. I am remembering Charles...something. They had the first Atlanta "Luau", but proximity and name do not make a real match...

That would be the Outrigger at the Sheraton Charles Hotel. I posted some photos of the exterior on my Cajun Tiki thread.

It was a Dinkler at some time. But then I see the Andrew Johnson here in Knoxville was too. No tiki bar there. Dinkler put a bar in the Nashville Dinkler and opened the Luau. Maybe, just maybe he put this Outrigger in?

The article says they bough it tin 1958 and sold it to Sheraton in 1959. That's the time when they opened the Luau in ATL and sold it at a huge profit.
