This is just too much for me to pass along to the Modcom group... I linked back to this discussion on this issue (as I do on all things tiki) twice now.

If there are folks interested in persuing preservation of Kona Lanes - post there and try to get other modcommers on board.
I have not following this that closely, but often when it seems like a decision has been made, it may not be too late for last ditch efforts?

The demise of the Kahiki was a travesty, but losing Kona Lanes is just as wrong. It's like saying that a hybrid tea rose over there is more important than an azalea. Each has own beauty and place in the garden!
Each contributes to its community.
Unfortunately the Kona Lanes was badly pruned in the last few years so those who wentthere more recently did not see the wild Googie/tiki spears that jutted out from the facade (which could be replaced fairly easily).

Anyway - I know this forum is for things beyond tiki, but I encourage 'preservation' talk to come and visit the modcom forum...

p.s.
Someone should consider nominating the interior of Sam's Seafood as a landmark.

p.p.s.
i think we should rename tikibong to tikibush.
