Sad but true, Caliente Tropics' Reef Bar is no longer with us.

To be replaced by... what? Like me, I'm sure you hesitate to even imagine.

So, rather, let's look back fondly, instead, on what not-so-very-long-ago still WAS!

Remember... and ENJOY!

Yep -- just feast yer eyes on all the nifty artistry of Mr. Boo!

And no one HERE will say "Boo WHO?", but only "Boo HOO!"

Because now -- DOG GONE IT!...

...it's GONE!

And now, as night falls on our memories of The Reef...

...we bid a wistful farewell to the last remaining tiki bar in Palm Springs!

The Reef...

Requiescat In Pace!

Post Scriptum (since I seem to be on a Latin kick):

Can ANYONE tell me the meaning and/or significance of the NAME above this lone totem enshrined in a display window outside the bar?

Of course the name 'Outrigger' used to be the ubiquitous moniker of countless tiki establishments throughout the U.S. and elsewhere, but WTF does it mean in THIS particular context??? I, for one, haven't a clue.

Cheers & Mahalos :drink: :tiki:
