Description:
I have this nice little matchbook from Chin’s Polynesian Garden Restaurant located in Monroeville, PA.
 
In researching this place on the web, found this little bit of information.
Ken and Bo Moy are former owners of Chin's Polynesian Garden, on Northern Pike Road in Monroeville, which is now owned by their sons and called Moy's Cove.
Which lead me to Moy’s Cove which has this huge Tiki painted on the outside of the old A-frame and lava rock structure that must have been built by the Ken and Bo. The Tiki design appears to be lifted from the Kahiki fireplace.
Found these on Flickr
Need to get some Pennsylvania Tiki agents down there for a look see and some better photos.
Some photos of the inside, not to much Tiki showing but the do have some bamboo furniture and lamps.
Funny, there is a Chin's and a Moy's in Livonia, MI too.

Looks like most recently it was Cody's Sports Bar, now closed. Something about a patio on PA Turnpike land and a feud with a funeral home. On Street View on Google maps it looks like the tiki was removed (probably when the Moy's converted it to a sports bar).
I'll still try to swing by and see if anything's left. Hmm... I wonder what they did with those shell lamps!

Thanks for the update. Hell, wonder what they did with that huge Tiki? In somebody's backyard somewhere??
