If Mr. Chin decideds to re-open it, you can bet I will be the first one in the door, in a coconut bra and everything.

I will rock that place HARD.

It's time to bring the coconuts back to Cass Corridor!

If you look at Tiki Fish's pictures of the Chin Tiki, you will notice that there are two missing Polynesian tiles on the buildings facade. Mr. Chin’s son, who makes them himself, has since replaced them. If you happen to be in the neighborhood take a close look, you will notice that there are two small M’s molded into one of the tiles. Can you guess whose initials they are?
