Warren St. Thomas’ night club, The Tropics on W. Mississippi.

I drew this in Google SketchUp, just for fun.

I’ll rework this and spend more time on it, when I find more source material!

  2. Front doors were hand carved wood to like Tiki Faces.You must of had a picture of the club good drawing and likeness.

    The sign said The Saint’s Tropics…inside there were hourly thunder storms sounds.
    The upper eating areas around the outside of the main dance floor…take 2 small steps up to the eating area that had hollow banisters in front.. and hidden water tub supplied water ..and it would fall into the hallow banisters with lights flashing at the ends so you could see the water coming down and the thunder sounds.A very large tree branch was on the sealing with moss on it and little twinkling white lights hidden hear and there.The dancer floor was hydraulic and could be lifted up for shows.A big bird like cage came down out of the sealing above dance floor for special shows and persons could be inside of..there were tiki masks on the back walls that had black lights on them.There was a small
    Lighted alligator pit in one back corner of the club.The chair had an animal skin prints on them.And the girls that worked there had animal skin print bikinis suits on with one shoulder strap.
    Many Many head liners in music,comedy,and dancers.ect. played there of the years.
    Till more clubs opened in the heart of downtown Denver.
    It was a Very Cool Place and a bit ahead of it’s time inside and out…!
