So it's good that they are at least acknowledging the historical significance, right?? I know that it was mentioned that the restaurant can be 'relocated' but I wonder if anyone on the comission will think that is really even possible? Im hoping to bring my band by the Tonga before we play the Bamboo Hut on Saturday night! I think that I'm the only guy in the band who has been there before. Actually, Bong might have been there before too.... Looking forward to it! It would be a shame to lose such a legendary tiki wonderland!!
