I don't recall seeing the tiki on the left, but it was a long time ago. I dropped in at least once or twice a year from about 1986 until 1998. Was shocked to see it closed, similar to that sinking feeling when the Bahooka announced its closing.

Lori, yeah I'd heard that many items were transferred to the new owners (next door?) and that their inventory was so large they couldn't sell it all off when The Sea finally closed. The whole area surrounding Ports O' Call is depressing today. I stopped going there years ago.
