Let me say that these archives are a valuable source for anyone who is digging for info on classic Tiki in any given location. They didn't have much on the TMK but had a couple pieces of info I had not seen before. The first was a newspaper article about the grand opening in 1969 with a nice photo of the exterior. I will post the text of the article later. The research librarian was very friendly, knowable and helpful. These folks are in the know and love local history. We were the only ones there this Saturday so we had one on one help. Newspapers on microfilm, city directories, local maps and databases that go on and on. I urge anyone with a bit of time to dive into these resources and take a swim in local history. Good fun. Thanks for taking a look.
