Not that I'd ever get to see the place first-hand but it would be phenomenal for those in the area! On a semi-related note...why the hell did they shoot that Eminem movie there? I know he's from Detroit but why inside Chin Tiki? I just don't get it. It probably helps Mr.Chin's cause by getting exposure but are the wannabe "homies and thugs" who enthusiastically went out and saw 8-Mile, the same kind of crowd that would want to go to a tiki bar? Most of them probably have 5-8 years to go before they're of legal drinking age...just a thought.
