Thanks for the scoop, Tiki Nomad!

It definitely has a "tiki in a Chinese restaurant" feel to it (we are in the Midwest, after all) so Orchids makes perfect sense.

Mr. Tipsy- this is indeed one and the same from Hollywood Mirror. I walked by it several times, assuming it would be priced ridiculously (to go with just about everything else in that 'hood) before I finally broke down and checked it out. As it turns out, it wasn't too bad and they were more than willing to drop the price by almost half, so I guess they wanted it out of there. The manager couldn't tell me anything about it, other than that they've had it in and out of various parts of the store for a good while now (from the amount of cobwebs on its backside, I'd believe it.)

Go figure... you can still find cool stuff in Lakeview on occasion. I figured our days of buying anything worthwhile in that neighborhood were long, long gone.

i figured it was the same one.... I inquired as to the price a few months back and they wanted way more than i was willing to shell out... glad you got a deal on it. they are way outrageously priced in that store and the joke is, all that stuff is found out at the flea market for chump change... the owner is out there every weekend. Fortunately he buys alot of stuff i want nothing to do with but we still compete for tiki and 50's atomic stuff... glad your tiki has a new home where it will be appreciated....
