It however is/was one of the last great Tiki A-frames standing. If it is brought to its knees, and not restored but dismantled, it is WE who loose, not the owner (who never cared much for the Tiki theme). I agree, as per my first post. I think alot of people are pissed that Tiki Caliente was basically dissed and dismissed from the Tropics....as we all love the place. But yea, the iconic value far exceeds the bad owners' crappy treatment of the community. So, save it I say.
