Joined: Feb 15, 2003 Posts: 3006	F freddiefreelance Posted posted on Fri, Mar 20, 2009 11:58 AM My friend Velocity, who lives on Alameda, sent me an email saying there was a "For Lease" sign on Forbidden Island?!?! WTF! She only went there once (even though she lives just up the street) so she may've gotten the address wrong; could someone please go by, check for the sign, and report back? [EDIT] OK, it looks like Velocity was a block (or half a block?) off on the "For Lease" sign; like I said, she'd only been there once, and was busy when she drove past. Rev. Dr. Frederick J.

However, I did send a PM to Molokai Mike here on TC with a link to this thread so an answer can be provided by the authority on the subject of the status of Forbidden Island.

No cause for concern. Forbidden Island is stronger than ever!! Sign up on our mailing list, if you're not already and be kept abreast of all the exciting events coming up.

I popped down to check it out, and Michael posted before I had a chance to get back. There is definitely NOT a for lease sign on Forbidden Island or anywhere nearby the building. If you go up a block towards Pagano's Hardware, there are two buildings next to each other, next door to the laundromat, and one has a sign that says for rent, and the other has a sign that says for lease. No need to worry, my friends. See you there this Sunday, Michael. :D

She (he?) cannot recognize the bar from the outside. And an Almeda resident to boot?! [ Edited by: Molokai Mike 2009-03-21 00:19 ]

Not a single element of the mixology has changed since Martin left. I don't believe in fixing what ain't broke. Why would I start using mixes. Please folks, nobody wins when blatant rumors like these are flung around. Our servers and bartenders are happy to go into detail about anything! Please check in with them before posting unchecked rumors!
