Google News Timeline Archives with interesting Tiki topics

I know people have posted stories from the Google Archive, but I searched and could not find the official topic. I figure why not have a thread dealing with and for all of the Google Timeline Tiki stories!

I found a few amazing stories and some real interesting reads regarding tiki, using the Google News Timeline Archive.
This one for instance, is an opinionated article written by a Mr. Russell Kurt for the Ocala Star-Banner paper back in 1965.
Sven might get a kick out of this one!

Whoaa, Tom's got the Google timeline fever :D It's a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon, fer sure.

Interesting how so many of these articles got wire-serviced out to smaller regional papers:
Your first find was published in the L..A. Times, I reprinted it as the "prevailing opinion of the taste police" in the BOT, page 52.
The Barney West article first saw its first light in a California paper, too, I had posted it here:

But most of the Tampa/ St Petersburg/ Tiki Gardens articles that Mo-Eye found were entirely local:

...and on and on: Just put 'Florida Tiki' author: ' Mo-Eye' into the search engine here, and you will find over a dozen fascinating articles.

Or, just click on this:

Much work remains to be done for outside of Florida articles, so keep up the good work!
