Am I just fretting about an obvious, irreversible course of events? Yes, but we All are! I think the rate of Tiki loss is steady and inexorable, not stable. So get out there and enjoy them while you can. Your patronage or lack thereof won't make a bit of difference to whether places like Trader Vic's in Chicago survives, but at least you'll enjoy yourself and soak in the good times and memories while you can. Well put. Folks, if you have a favorite business -ANY favorite business-PATRONIZE IT!!! It is so easy to forget about your local places. Especially the older ones that seem like they will be around forever. Sometimes you go only to find out that it closed three weeks ago. Don't ever assume that something will last forever. Maybe the business does good to great financially, then something happens like a kitchen fire or the city wants to add a highway off ramp and must bulldoze your fave joint. Like James said, there ar so many reasons why a business closes shop.
