For instance, there was this drop-jaw, beautiful postcard that ZuluMagoo posted awhile back from the Outrigger Club in Ardmore, Oklahoma: For me, these nighttime images capture the exotic, mysterious feel of a tiki bar better than any others. I am instantly transported back to my 1960s childhood looking at that one. The one you posted, BK, is classic! But even better, (in my opinion), is the postcard of the Imperial Luau you posted back in March. Dig that crazy floor! Plus you own one of the Tikis in that photo, which makes it even better. I'll have to dig through my own collection and see which postcards best capture the essence of the golden age of tiki. I'll get back to you. Sabu
