And it's that move that would displace the Tonga Room - which means move it or lose it." Quote from the Chronicle article. I just had a horrible thought - what if they moved the Tonga Room - but updated it with a sterilized "modern" look - in the vein of Trader Vic's Las Vegas? Ugh!! I'm heading to the Tonga Room this weekend as part of my road trip. [ Edited by: Fres-tiki 2009-02-25 22:35 ]
