Yes, Bigbro, I guess you are right that this is a gloomy thread. I was saddened about the closing of Scottsdale and probably thought about it too much when I created this. I don't mean to pick on Trader Vic's, often the closings are franchisees choices and as a chain, Trader Vics has a greater chance of having duplicate closings than say a one-off tiki bar. BigBro, you should have offered me a hug, as it is not Mr. Smileys custom to be gloomy! :)
I am still sad this location closed. Inky and I had great memories there. The sadness of the closings of other locations I have been to like both SF locations has worn off a little over time. I was somewhat happy to see Las Vegas close-only in the respect that I think it was damaging the Brand of Trader Vic's.

time for some Zoloft! oof...
