Thanks, Fez. That brings up the question --- when someone opens a new TV's franchise, are they also required to obtain their décor from the corporation? That would explain all the stuff going back to the home base when a restaurant shuts down. Now with Palo Alto and Portland having recently closed, there must be a very nice collection in the corporate warehouse.

Can any TV's insider offer more insight? How about offering a tour? Or offering a garage sale? Heh, can't hurt to ask --- the recent developments are likely to make it a whole lot harder for TV's to recruit new franchisees. Do they really want to pay for storage for all that stuff for what could be many, many years when a few of us would be happy to take some of it off their hands now? I'm certain that some of that stuff would love to remain in Portland with local collectors, tiki bars, and tikiphiles.

Inquiring tiki minds are hard at work.....
