Nada, Zilch. Nothing Tiki to speak of. I spoke with one of the supervisors of the demolition team and asked if there was anything left inside from when it was a restaurant. He said only some old kitchen equipment, sinks, etc...

As far as hanging lamps go, there were about four ceiling fans with lights. Unfortunately they were about as plain as it gets:

When one of the walls came down I saw something that was part of the decor. Nothing special and certainly not Tiki but I suppose you could call it nautical, or perhaps I should say knotical. :roll:

A wooden panel with three different rope knots:

One other photo of possible interest. Some of the wood used to board up the exterior has fallen away revealing some details:

If you want to see any full size photos I took, I put them up on Flickr. You can zoom in pretty good on them, maybe you'll spot something I missed.

I do have about 15 minutes of hd video of beams and walls being knocked down and crushed, If anyone is interested I can post it on YouTube.
