This is the reason that House of Tiki in Chicago closed (not that it was evn REMOTELY CLOSE to a Mai Kai or Kahiki-level establishment). Old man Ciral retired, and not one of his four offspring wanted the bar. So that was that. Also re: Sven's Kahiki comments, what he says is 100% correct, and I have also been lead to understand that the descision to sell was also influenced by the fact that there was structural damage to the building that would have required more $$$ than was practical or possible to repair.
