Demolition video of famous Polynesian supper club

The Kahiki Super Club was one of the greatest Polynesian Restaurants in the world. Located in Columbus, OH, the Kahiki opened in 1961 and remained in business until August, 2000, when it was demolished to become a Walgreens. Because what the world really needs is another Walgreens.

I shot the salvage operation, including this footage of the Moai fireplace, the centerpiece of the Kahiki, being yanked from it's home through a hole in the roof.

The music is Robert Drasnin's "Voodoo," from the record/cd of the same name.

If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you have no heart. Here is the link to the video and flickr photoset. Link
