I hope this isn't a topic that has been brought up before...did I read anything in the forums about the Polynesian Lounge in Albuquerque, New Mexico changing ownership recently? I did a drive by over the weekend and it was called Mr. K's, I went in and spoke with the manager and was told that the establishment had recently been sold and renovated "GASP" and that the Polynesian bar had been removed and replaced with a cabaret dinner show act "E-GADS"
I was so distraught by the news I left the building not bothering to look into the renovated bar to see if anything remotely tiki had been left standing. Not until I passed California's state line did I realize there could be some Polynesian lounge tiki treasures just lying "unloved" thrown around someones garage. Waiting to be put into someones personal tiki shrine. DOH!!! Anyway, I did a search on TC and came up empty on any info for the place, I even checked out Critiki and found nada on the current status? It would seem that yet another one of our precious, ever dwindling temples of tikidom has bit the big one :(
