"Tiki palaces and fantastic places that are even better than anything that has come before is to change the surrounding civilization."

We do have a few successes in the new tiki joint arena as well though, places like Three Dots and a Dash and Forbidden island to name a few.

So it can be done right in this time and still thrive.
What places like the Kahiki had was the love gained by longevity.
That is they had been around so long people loved the place and would forgive many not so good things.

The food at the end was ok, and the drinks were depending on who made it strong, not so great, or good.

But it was fun.

Dam what would the rent be for a Kahiki or Mai Kai these days!

The official reason given for tearing down the Kahiki was it was in need of a lot of work so he sold it rather than repair it.

I think the reason was the million bucks he got for the place.
