We may lose her. And relocating -- indeed cloning -- the whole place someplace else won't make it the same exact space that the special people who've made TV 90210's special history so -- special. In the end, all that great decor is just decor; it's the fact that if you lean against a tiki post in that particular TV's, there's a good chance that James Dean may have as well. Or that table you reserve could've been where John Wayne or Natalie Wood had dinner one night. Maybe Spielberg had a straw in that Volcano Bowl last, or you're parking your fanny on the same barstool that one of the Rat Pack settled on, once upon a time.

That's the whole point of fighting the fight. It's not about saving the decor, it's about saving the history binding that special space together. That's what's irreplacable, and can never be "re-created".

We may lose her, it's true. Big bucks are tough to fight. But fighting is better than doing nothing at all. We may lose her, but she won't go down unsung.

And of course everyone is welcome to join those of us who've taken a stand to protest the callous threat to this icon of classic tiki culture, and VOTE.

Cheers and aloha,
