I'm just putting the finishing touches on
my talk on 1950s/60s "Polynesian Pop" for
OCHS on Thursday. I thought I'd share a few photos I took recently that didn't make the cut. All the photos in today's post come from the
Kona Gardens apartment complex, at 9731 Acacia Ave. in
Garden Grove. The place is totally amazing. Lava rock, tikis galore, gabled huts, thatch, tropical landscaping, nautical decor,... the whole schmeer!

If you'd like to see more, check out my
tiki photo set on
Flickr. For those attending my program, don't worry about spoilers. I don't think I'm using any of the photos I posted online.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg folks. My thanks to
Mike Skinner for
pointing this complex out, and for helping promote my program.
