At Jasper White's Summer Shack restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts there's one who now appears to be a salty old fisherman; he began life as a Polynesian warrior when the site was occupied by a Tiki bar.

I think I found the old Tiki Bar and Summer Shack that Paul was referring to in Cambridge Mass.
