A time to every season: Farewell Trader Vic's SF. - General Tiki

It was partly owned by the Corporation, and had a large number of investors to help foot the bill. My mistake..I just assumed it was. But many were put off by the atmosphere, and the more egalitarian approach. Lars echoed similar sentiments in conversations I've had with him about SF TV. He mentioned that "typical" customers were fairly pretentious snobs that had little or no appreciation for Trader Vic's. I personally never got to visit so all I know is what I hear and read. Still, sad to see another TV shut it's doors...especially after being open only a short time.
