Well here is a little more info for y'all. First off, the Hula Hut feature matchbook that was the inspiration for the cool Vintage Roadside T-Shirt (as seen on ebay).

Turns out that the Hula Hut burned down TWICE! If it wasn't for Bad Luck, they would've had no luck at all.

First fire was in 1957 with Anita O'Day scheduled to sing for 10 days.

The Hula Hut reopened later that year - with Tikis!

Fire struck again in 1958.

The owner went bankrupt in 1959 - at total loss.

A few newspaper adverts.

Camera Day?

Come on, say it with me - Hula Hut!
