Someone should document it's destruction. I'll field this one, bigbro. It was still there on Monday, but there's a construction fence around it and the adjacent buildings, so the time might be nigh. I happened to ride the "People Mover" for the first time when I was just there, and you can see it from the train, too (for now.) So, this must be the bar that's turned up at Livonia Chin's, then. Had a Mai Tai on it recently and didn't know its history went beyond Chin Tiki. TT
