I have been watching those doors! I put in a dozen calls trying to find out who to talk to about saving them. The people who run the market said they already handed over control of the whole place to the demo people, so they couldn't help. Most of the demo guys didn't speak English, so they weren't much help either. I talked to one of the head guys a couple times, and he was suppose to get back to me... then all of a sudden, they're gone!

At least my calls may have saved them from the bulldozer... but I should have just stole them myself when I had the chance!

Please tell me someone saved those tikis.
hodadhank, you'd better have them after the pictures.

This is the kind of thing that directly affects the amount of decor and carvings, tiki and otherwise, that is seen, or as is now the case, NOT seen, any longer, there at the I.M.P.
mamangement gets wind of this, or views carvings being abused or pried from their resting place, or hears of tikis being swiped from places thru Waikiki... and they say "phukkit. Why bother." and hole them up and away from the area. far removed from the aforementioned.
demo guys don't speak english?! they talked story jes fine with me. got ta know them well, in fact. prolly helped that i didn't convey an air of; "Why aren't my calls being returned!? Why did you NOT get back to me?" "well, YOU certainly aren't much help to ME!" But then i may be way off base. Probably am. I'll blame it on da maitais across da street at Duke's.
