My wife and kids think I'm nuts (I am), but I have really wanted to do this to our neighborhood for quite a while. 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...

Yep, cool names, but that's about it.

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!
