Wasn't the Kahiki on the National List of Historic Places? Anybody know if that at least slowed down its destruction?

Yes, I believe it WAS! Again, that just pisses me off! I never even got to visit it!
The problem is that even when a location IS registered it still takes MONEY, public, private, government, it's got to come from somewhere. From what I heard/read about the Kahiki was that it had been closed for quite awhile and VERY run down and in poor repair. When there are safety issues it becomes very difficult to protect. But that was another location that I believe was bought up by a large corporation, (Walmart if I'm not mistaken?).
Getting a property registered as a Historic Landmark is just one step towards preservation NOT a guarantee!

Here are some images from last years Tiki Oasis of the treasured items I believe we WON'T be seeing again for 2007! :cry:
