Learned bretheren and sistren:

I am hoping to gather more information on tiki bars that may have existed in Chicago's colorful Uptown neighborhood back when (as well as the adjacent Uptown enclaves Andersonville, Edgewater, & Buena Park/North Lakeview.)

I am aware of Honolulu Harry's Waikiki (was located at 4541 N. Broadway), another location which may have been the precursor to Honolulu Harry's (it was called Club Waikiki located at 804 W. Wilson), and the Polynesian Village at the Edgewater Beach Hotel at 5341 N. Sheridan.

Am I missing anything, you deep-catalog tiki researchers out there?

Have anymore information and/or ephemera from Honolulu Harry's, Club Waikiki, or the Polynesian Village?

PLEASE let me know! I am in need of knowledge for a top-secret project (shhhh! I SAID it's TOP-SECRET!)

Thanks in advance!
