Book excerpt: Beginning in Tijuana during Prohibition, influenced by Hollywood studios, and continuing past its hosting of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet during WWII, San Diego became an incubator for the nation's obsession with all things Tiki. Hundreds of thousands of peoplepassed through San Diego's military bases, and many stayed to open up their own personal visions of a Polynesian island paradise.
