It will most likely not change anything, but might plant a seed the the minds of those at the top. Just a thought.

..I think the minds at the top are well aware of the tiki resurgence over the past few years....but until that translates into some hardcore dollers and cents for them, they could care less....no matter how many of us there are...it's not going to be enough to do squat..."when money talks, tiki enthusiasts take a walk" -and not down preservation lane either...after all, wasn't that the lesson of Kahiki vs. walgreen's??

don't mean to be a bummer and of course, any effort is a noble one...but these are businesses folks, designed for no other purpose than to make money....and when they stop makin the money needed to justify keeping the doors open, it's time to say good-bye. sure, it's not fair and it sucks for us as well as future generations that may not have any original tiki places around to enjoy, but good or bad, right or wrong that's just the way it is...you can only fight money with money...and unless any of us have lot's of it and are willing to buy these places ourselves we're kinda screwed..... it's best to support our existing and newer tiki establishments as best we can, cause we will be continuing to lose more of them to the wrecking ball sooner or later.
