Tiki shopping in Cleveland

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Laura DeMarco of Cleveland.com published a handy guide to shops carrying tiki merchandise in Drew Carry’s favorite city. Mentioned stores include:

Flower Child, 11508 Clifton Blvd., Cleveland: Cleveland’s best stop for all things retro, kitschy and mid-century. You’ll almost always find a large selection of vintage Tiki barware, clocks, wall decor and even furniture.

Suite Lorain, 7105 Lorain Ave., Cleveland: “The” vintage department store is a fertile finding ground — 8,000 square feet — for Tiki masks, mugs, fabrics and even whole bars.

This Way Out, 15711 Waterloo Road, Cleveland: Rock fans know this vintage store tucked under the Beachland Ballroom is a retro treasure trove. Polynesian finds include barware, coasters and other knick-knacks.

Something Different, 1899 West 25th Street, Cleveland: Raise a glass to the Tiki gods with one of the multi-colored retro mugs from this chic, upscale gift shop, perfect for that after-work Mai-Tai .¤.¤. or Blue Hawaiian .¤.¤. or Zombie .¤.¤.

Trader Vic’s Warehouse Sale, Richmond, CA

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Trader Vic’s mothership in San Franciso is having a mysterious, once-in-a-lifetime “warehouse sale” from February 23-29 at a facility in Richmond, California.

We are happy to offer you a once in a lifetime opportunity to get your hands on all different types of Trader Vic’s merchandise & memorabilla, both old & new. Due to the fact that we’ve got so much overstock and so many different items, there is no way that we can list them all here.

Please, DO NOT call us asking specific questions because we are overwhelmed trying to get our new warehouse in-order. We are clearing out this merchandise for some much needed added space. We promise you that there are many great finds and this opportunity should not be missed.

I have visions of Kava Bowls and carvings ripped from closed TV locations dancing in my head. I wish I lived in California.

February 23rd - 29th, 10am - 7pm everyday
623 South 32nd St., Richmond, CA
