I would write the letter, but I think someone like Sven would do a far more eloquent job. I say concentrate on preservation area like that, rather than wasting energy on things like arguing over what IS and ISN'T Tiki. Sam's may be destined to be condos, but until Orange county allows them to start demoing the place, it will be a restaurant...might as well bug the owners to keep it authentic, and true to it's former self, now that the fist set of bad owners is gone. Just my 2 cents. Besides, I want the Tikiyaki Orchestra to play there. :)
