Roadsideamerica.com Report...25-Ton Tiki Head:
A 25-ton Tiki head in arid Arizona somehow seemed perfectly sensible as part of Tucson's Magic Carpet Golf. But when the mini-golf course closed in late 2007, the head -- as well as the attraction's many other oversized sculptures -- were imperiled by the same forces of change that have toppled Tikis in places that don't even have miniature golf.

With the tremendous cold spell, we have had some compassion. Tucsonans decided that our Magic Carpet Tiki needed a hand-knitted scarf to keep it warm. Thought you would like to see how Tiki's get warm when it is 19 degrees. It was done, we believe, as part of a renegade art installation. It is a peaceful movement to place positive projects around the nation.

I was there for the grand unveiling of the "Tiki Noggin" at its new location. It's call The Hut and is a club on 4th avenue.
