"Now it is time to let go of the Tonga Room."

So says Chronicle columnist and self-proclaimed Tonga Room liker, C.W. Nevius.

Read ALL about it in his current coulumn at the link provided below. Will the Tonga Room survive? Will it be demolished and cast aside to the ash heap of history? Will it be relocated? Will it rise again from said ash heap like the proverbial Phoenix? Will Darla ever learn the dark secret about her fiance Conrad?

Will I ever read a mass media report about a Tiki/Polynesian restaurant or bar without the use of the loathsome and tired expression "ki...kit"? Nope, didn't think so.

"It is amazing something that kitschy has held up that long."

Will somebody get a waiter's attention, I'd like to order a cocktail before I pass out into the faux lagoon!
