Friends, let us raise a cup of Dole to our beloved Tiki Juice Bar. It served us well and made our hands sticky for over 40 years. I'll certainly miss it. Wow - me too... While I remain optimistic as well, I'm starting to get a little worried... They demo'd the WHOLE Juice Bar???? That's sad. I worked there during the Summer of 1990, I loved the whole feel of the Lanai. The Juice Bar was a big part of that... I can only hope that the team is going to go back & rebuild the original "A" frame - but now I'm starting to hear rumors that are scaring me a little...
