They didn't look on the back. It's carved by Von Tiki. He sells his stuff at an antique shop downtown. |

Cool, it will provide a great leaning post for a homeless guy. With homes on the AVE. going for over $500,000 Ventura is the next Santa Barbara where the ultra-rich get out of their luxury cars by stepping over the homeless in the gutter. Redefine this. |

I was just noting the Tiki. Ventura to me is not High Brow.....just a funky beach town, and not even in a cool way. I think the city fathers made a huge mistake of allowing the 101 freeway to cut off the town from the beach. I believe the prices reflect all of California. Now that Santa Barbara's median price is over a million, Carpenteria and Ventura are close enough in geography to get some pricing overflow. I don't care for the style of the Tiki or the town. I DO like Tiki and Ventura. I lived there in the 80s, have friends and family there, and surf and shop there. No better place to be homeless than a beach town with mild weather and lots of tourists. Too bad Wellman Jue's Paradise is no longer there. Would have liked to have had a cocktail before it was turned into a market. Aloha |

Ron, do you ever go to Tony's (steakhouse)! Its real charming and has live entertainment, and the drinks aren't too bad either. |

I have not been there in years, but it is/was very good. When I first moved to Ventura 20 years ago, the company I worked for had their Christmas lunch there. Everyone was ordering sandwiches but I noticed the the dinner special was Abalone for $32.00. I asked the waiter if they were serving it at lunch (yes) and asked our boss if I could order anything (yes). No one else changed their order. The Abalone was just O.K. but somehow tasted better than it actually was. |

Ahhhhhhh good ol Von Tiki.........ummmmmm....nevermind! On another Ventura County note, I spotted this house in Simi Valley down the street from a friend who set me up with a massive pile of palm trunks! Great to see you and Mrs. Fury at the Oasis, by the way! If you guys are around on July 3rd, you should come by and watch the fireworks show from my backyard! (Yeah, that's right! July 3rd! We do things differently here in Moorpark! haha!) [ Edited by: suburbanpagan on 2005-05-23 23:04 ] |

Where's the love? Granted, I'm still an amatuer tiki carver. I carved it as a tribute to tiki enthusiasts, just trying to spread the tiki spirit. My next one will be even better. |

Yes, there was a story on KCLU this morning as well. I made a separate post about thinking no one had mentioned it. I did a search and apparently nothing came up because I spelled the tiki's name as "Vinnie" instead of "Vini." Oh well. |
