This neighborhood seems to has been discussed only briefly in TC. So here is a map and all street names (it was a really long meeting). BTW, this neighborhood is located off I-45, just north of Galveston Streets: Admiral Circle Bama Bend Bamboo Drive Bora Bora Drive Cataway Street Cocoanut Street Coral Way Copra Street Diamond Head Court Diamond Head Drive Easterly Drive Ensign Drive Hana Drive Harbour Circle Hawaii Drive Isles End Road Jeanie Lynn Circle Kah Me Ha Drive Kona Drive Lanai Street Leilani Drive Lokai Street Lotus Drive Long Reach Drive Maui Drive Majuro Drive Makatea Street Mango Drive Moorea Street Neptune Circle Oahu Drive Outrigger Drive Palmetto Drive Papete Street Paradise Drive Port O Call Street Sampan Drive Short Drive Sunset Circle Tahiti Road Tamana Drive Tiki Drive Tiki Main Quayside Drive Wahini Way Wingsong Way Westerly Drive Windward Way

Our neighborhood is named on a theme too, but it's all English themed (in name only, not appearance), with "villages" like Oxford, Cambridge, Avon, Yorkshire, etc. I would love to rip off the English names and replace them with Tahiti, Bora Bora, Hawaii, Samoa, etc along with matching Bosko shields and masks. Maybe I should get on the board of the homeowner's association and turn this place into Tiki Paradise. I mean, it would really go with my decor and all. I'm sure everyone won't mind...

I did my reconnaissance mission there for TRT2 and found cool names and a sign with a tiki but no tikis (other than a few on peoples' porches). But I did learn that during the summer months, the community puts out 2 or 3 tikis in the central park area. They are removed for the other months to keep them from rotting (or disappearing, I bet). Or blowing away - we get big storms in Texas! F
