Here is a new Topic inspired by the lack of knowledge about the Kansas City Kona Kai:

A collecting place of visual ephemera and data of once grand examples of Tiki culture for which very little material exists to this day. This means Int. and Ext. shots, Menus, Mugs, Matchbooks, and info on owners, when and why opened, when and why closed. I know in some cases there are small bits floating around. Sabu has a great exterior shot of the Islander, for example. But no complete picture emerges of this important Tiki power place yet.

I propose so far:

1.) The Kona Kai, Kansas City

2.) The Mainlander, St.Louis

3.) The Lanai, San Mateo

4.) The Mauna Loa, Detroit

5.) All Christian's Huts

6.) The Islander, Stockton

I know this might coincide with the "Locating Tiki Forum", maybe this thread should be moved there....hmmm...we could call it MUDTT...Tiki Temples stuck in the morass of time.
