Ok, this is getting near and dear to my heart, lets clear up a bit of mis-information. first of all the comment about the area that the Mai Kai is in as being "Low rent". I live about a block from it, and my house appraises at about $650,000, thats a low average for the area. Yes there is a strip club close, but a very upscale club, that has a grandfathered land deal. Chip and Andy your comment about Historical commissioners is a bit rude, and totally off the mark. First off, all of the historical commissioners are appointed, they do what they do as a service not a job. The commission is made up of several local Mayors, representatives from the Seminole tribe (can you say owners of the Hard Rock chain) and my wife who has a PHD in medical ethnography, and adds great input to my tiki indulgence. To become a historical site, the Mai Kai would have to apply for the status, the commission just can't come in and take over. Cheers
