Oh yes. I mentioned this on another thread a while back.....at the corner of Holly Oak Drive and Ash Drive in Monterey Park--yeah, basically on top of the hill that overlooked Danny Balsz's The Tikis way back when that place was there--is a house. They have a U-shaped driveway and in the center of that there is a little island with a clump of bushes. The bushes have grown over the volcanic-rock tiki and now you can't see it. But it's in there...rough-hewn and mysteriously powerful.

In the 70's, every time I took a walk around the block, I would pass this tiki and it always had a friendly presence. The tiki has most likely been in this location since the mid-60's, I would imagine.

I have seen this house go up for sale a couple of times now, sometimes the place looks deserted and sometimes there are several cars in the driveway, just lately I have seen cars there. But I do not have the nerve, for some reason, to go up to this house and bug whoever is there about a tiki that is hiding in their bushes! Am I a chicken about this?
