It's such a shame Bob and LeRoy didn't get more photos and follow ups back in the day, but it makes us grateful for all the stuff they did get -- they were building and doing so much it's easy to see how it would be hard to document it all as much as we would have wanted them to. That fireplace detail is very Kahikiesque indeed. Ditto the ceiling-hung outrigger. This is such an interesting thread. And ... what is with the use of "Mai Kai" in Michigan tiki bars? Immediately the Mai Kai Lounge in Tecumseh came to mind. I wonder if they opened at around the same time? (Last update on the state of MKL is not a sight for the squeamish...)
