I signed it, even though these online petitions don't hold any weight. Someone should be banging on local doors and have REAL signatures to turn in to city hall. 200 sheets of signed paper holds more weight than 10,000 online votes when battling the City Council...

Also, BigBro is absolutely right, again. As disheartening as it may be, they have no intent on relocating. The only way this will happen is, if enough people make a stink about the closure, that they may be swayed to open a
"Tonga Room Lounge 2.0Lite" version....Remember Trader Vic's of Beverly Hills?

I cannot be P.C. (or politically correct) on these types of subjects anymore.
It is absolutely appalling to me, that most of this is happening because of first generation immigrant(s), who are coming to the U.S. with tons of money, to buy and redevelop existing properties for profit. They have no sense, nor understanding of American Culture or historic value, which obviously is of no concern to them. But I digress, I guess I can't be all that mad at the first genner' foreigner, as much as I am mad at the American selling out the property to begin with. If there is anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, Google the name Benny Alagem.

I may catch shit for the above statement, but I am just saying it like I see it...Its not made up.
