Ben - I read a great little article about your extended family in the local paper recently and it included your business too. What a great way to live. With all the development it's hard to believe that you could beach comb any where in Los Angeles and find cool stuff.
BK (and all other Minutemen fans) - Mike Watt plays gigs here in 'Pedro all the time. He's in, what seems like, a bazillion different bands but the one he's been doing most recently was "lets go speedro"
Sabu - this is a great thread. Thanks for starting it. I never took the time to really look at all these Tiki places (that I happen to pass every day) until this post. Nice job!

Another (not-so-tiki-but-super-nautical) local is Tally-Ho Marine Salvage on the corner of 22nd and S Mesa st. He is a nautical "relia" supplier for hollywood and has been the nautical supplier and coordinator for such movies as Hook and Hildago (maybe Pirates of the Carribean too because all the ship shots were done in LA harbor!). Anyway, he has a TON of antiques (like lights and floats and most anything else) inside and a TON more nautical brik-a-brac outside. The owner is a great guy and a lot of fun to talk to even if you don't want to buy anything. Tell him "Mr. D" recommended him to you - he'll get a kick out of that!
I'll get some pictures in here soon and a contact number if anyone in intersted. Everything on his lot is for sale.
