The Crow's Nest - Pt. Loma, California

I'm on the road again, and this week I found myself in San Diego, my favorite tiki town. I had the chance to stop in last night and enjoy a few Mr. Bali Hai Mai Tais at the Bali Hai Restaurant on Shelter Island. This was my first visit back to the Bali Hai after the remodel a few years back, and I was pleasantly surprised with the nice job they did updating the place.

On occassion, I get emails from readers asking me if I have a favorite building, or if I can point out a prime example of Polynesian Pop Architecture. My immediate answer is yes, I have a favorite and I got to visit her again today, lovely as ever.

The Crow's Nest exhibits several different classic elements of tiki architecture. I love this building, its got a great color scheme, it has a shake shingle roof, it has tropical landscaping, its small and intimate, its located on the ocean and finally it is surrounded by other Polynesian Pop Architecture found all across Shelter Island.

  1. Having grown up in San Diego, Shelter Island was always a popular place. I love the tiki atmosphere of so many of its structures and has been inspiration for many projects of mine. Love your blog.

  2. Love the extra outrigger beams at the bottom of each A-frame and angled "support" beams below them. They give the building not only a sense of motion (which us Googie fans always appreciate) but also the feeling that it's something more than a decorated box. A great building indeed. If I ever build my dream tiki house, I will borrow liberally from this design.

    Recently, I encountered a harrowing experience involving a fraudulent crypto asset brokerage. I had been saving a substantial amount of Bitcoin, totaling 1.5 BTC, with plans to invest through a reputable brokerage firm. My research led me to a search result on Google that seemed promising, featuring a top-ranked sponsored link to a website with the address mantao network. Upon visiting this site, which appeared to be professional and convincing, I was prompted to connect my crypto wallet. Naively trusting the site’s appearance and its purported legitimacy, I approved the connection request. Almost immediately, I noticed that my Bitcoin balance had been drained; within seconds, my entire 1.5 BTC was gone.In a state of panic, I quickly checked my wallet via my mobile app and confirmed that my balance was indeed zero. Desperate for help, I reached out to a workmate who is well-versed in cryptocurrency. Although my workmate initially took my concerns lightly, suggesting that there was nothing to worry about, he later referred me to a specialist who could potentially assist with such situations.This specialist was affiliated with a group called Cyber Tech Wizard . I reached out to them, providing detailed information about the incident and attaching the malicious sponsored link that had led to the phishing attack. Cyber Tech Wizard   promptly reviewed the link and identified it as part of a scam operation masquerading as the legitimate Manta Network—a genuine and reputable platform in the crypto world.The team at Cyber Tech Wizard   acted swiftly. They utilized their expertise in dealing with phishing and scam-related issues to initiate a recovery process. Thanks to their sophisticated tools and techniques, they managed to reverse the transactions and recover my stolen Bitcoin.Throughout this ordeal, Cyber Tech Wizard  demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. They kept me updated on their progress and reassured me during the stressful period. Their successful intervention not only restored my 1.5 BTC but also provided a valuable lesson in the importance of verifying the legitimacy of crypto-related websites and transactions.This experience underscored the significance of vigilance and caution in the crypto world. While the recovery of my funds was a fortunate outcome, it serves as a reminder to always double-check the authenticity of any platform or link before engaging with it, especially in the cryptocurrency space.
