Although the numbers have dwindled significantly thanks to the wrecking ball in recent years, there are still a number of great examples of 'Tiki' in Wildwood, NJ. We're attempting to keep track of as many as we can, past and present, here: http://www.wildwooddoowop.com/doowopspots/?selectstyle=polynesian%20/%20tiki

I love Wildwood, and it has been proposed as a location for an east coast/megalopolis tiki fest. thanks for posting this new link, because its great that you can sort by style. --sb
