A collection of advertisements for old Polynesian restaurants is forming in a thread on Tiki Central. Many of these ads come from old phone directories. The above 1967 advertisement was posted by thread-starter Chub, and is from the Chin Tiki in Detroit.

    Awww, Chin Tiki. I ate at it’s sister restaurant this past Friday. It’s a shame Chin Tiki’s being sold off. *sigh*
