I thought I'd update the KC part of this topic for future tiki tourists seeking public sights and perusing this forum, and because we have at least one new KC member who might know more. The current owner of the Bamboo Hut says it was never Polynesian, though its quite a good example of a roadhouse bar/restaurant and I do recommend stopping in for lunch if you are roaming among the googie remnants of hwy 40. It can be smoky, but the food is good. The sign is nicely vintage and is in violation of the current code so it must be worked on in-place to keep it safe under a grandfather clause: Before a fire in 1980, it had much more bamboo decor, though the light fixtures kctiki pointed out remain: I posted Tiki Hut Mini Putt to the Locating Tiki forum: I posted the Overland Park carver a couple days ago: Freddiefreelance was right; Aloha Chopstix is indeed just a Chinese restaurant with no tiki decor. It appears, so far, that the coolest bit of Tiki in the KC area is 8ft tiki's mondo-cool but not publicly viewable find: Does anyone have anything else to add for KC before I head up there in a week or so? |
