And this just in from the Los Angeles Times:

Excerpt
At least one piece of Los Angeles history would probably fall by the wayside. The adjacent Trader Vic's, the Polynesian-themed restaurant famous for its mai tais, would be torn down and replaced with the Waldorf-Astoria.

"That '50s creation of tiki is a diminishing resource," said Laurie Dishman, executive director of the Los Angeles Conservancy, which is lobbying to save the restaurant. "We really need to protect what we have."

Although negotiations are continuing with Trader Vic's to transplant some of the favorite "pupus" to the new restaurant's menu, Alagem said, "obviously we have to move with time."

So what the hell does that mean? Transplanting pupus?

Interesting that this article is no longer available on the LA Times. Wonder why?
