As many of us learned from the 2009 Hukilau announcement - We've been waiting with bated breath for signs of impending doom. I've heard a few rumblings. Now some exclusive insider info: The Wreck Bar will be in its unique nautically designed state for a limited time. Plans for its "renovation" include entirely changing the interior design, making it an eatery or a more "mainstream" bar rather than keeping it the magnificent icon it is. The more support The Wreck Bar gets for being unique, the better the chances that those planned changes would lean more toward the minimal side. The hope is that not only will the bar not be "gutted" but instead it gets restored to its former 1950s glory. This cannot happen without public support. South Floridians and anyone else with the means: Embark on a pilgrimage and voice your concerns. Those who cannot make the trip: Let the Yankee Clipper and Sheraton folks know that they would be making a big mistake by letting another historic establishment bite the dust. Yankee Clipper contact info: Sheraton corporate headquarters: A reminder that the mermaid shows are every Friday at 5:30 during happy hour. We intend to keep the monthly "Mermaids & Mai-Kai" event alive for as long as possible and hope to see more locals there. The next gathering is this Friday, Nov. 21, and Marina promises a special show featuring three mermaids. More info on this thread: For more on the mermaid show, go to Marina's sites:
