Saving The Tonga Room All Talk So Far

After last week’s fleeting rumor that the Tonga Room would close imminently, Curbed SF asked, why don’t we make it a landmark already? The short answer is, because nobody’s really tried. Planner Tim Fry said today that no proposals have been submitted — either by citizens or government agencies — to start the process of declaring the place a landmark. Meanwhile, the place went down to five days a week about a month ago, closing on Mondays and Tuesdays. A hotel employee told us today that change wouldn’t be permanent, though. Thank god. Nothing chases away the Mondays like your own personal Scorpion Bowl. [Curbed SF]
