I don't have an answer - so please bear with me for a moment - but some reviewer on Yelp spoke of visiting the new place and having had the "Rufus Fish Special" or something like that. Obviously, it must have been someone from the tiki community with a sense of humor, but the review also pointed out that the new restaurant wasn't really anything special in a part of the country with lots of Chinese and Asian fare. I dunno if the review is still out there, and I can't remember the name of the new place, otherwise I'd consider going back on Yelp and looking it up again.

Rufus was a prize to whoever owned him. The fact that we have not heard anything is an indication that he probably didn't survive all the activity and whatever move he was forced to endure.

I am reminded that, no matter how much we love places, we cannot always rescue them or keep them in business. So enjoy what we have while we have it. There is no telling what may happen next and what beloved tiki place we may lose next.
