IMPORTANT UPDATE: About a month ago I was interviewed by a reporter from one of the local weekly papers who was doing an investigative piece on the possible closing of The Wreck Bar. I believe they also interviewed Tiki Kiliki. When weeks went by without seeing a story in print, I inquired about the story. I was told that the Sheraton wasn't very cooperative (no surprise there). However, according to the reporter, what they did reveal "INDICATES THAT THEY'LL BE KEEPING THE LOOK OF THE WRECK BAR." I guess no news really is good news in this case. Hopefully the Sheraton folks aren't just giving the newspaper lip service and really do have good intentions. The reporter said they plan to continue to pursue the story in the future if the situation changes. All hail the power of the press! And thanks to all who may have had an impact on convincing the Sheraton to possibly change its tune. So let's breath a sign of relief for now and continue to savor this local landmark. There's still no guarantee that "keeping the look" will include Marina and the other mermaids, or the entire retro nautical theme. So please do what you can to remind the Clipper and Sheraton management what a valuable asset they have. And feel free to join us at our monthly happy hour gathering, which returns on Friday, Jan. 23: |
