[edit] Werewolves of London reference

I got to this page from the Random Article link, and immediately thought to add the lyric from "Werewolves of London." I'm not really a Wikipedia expert, so I hope I did it properly.

[edit] List of Restarants

The accuracy of the restaurant list seems questionable. Comparing to the list at the Trader Vics website does not match, but may not be accurate either (wikipedia indicates Chicago as recently closed, Trader Vics site lists it, but clicking on it opens an "opening soon" page). Don't knwo how best to resolve this, but thought it worth noting. Gunnk 20:25, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree, the list shows the LA restaurant as closed, but Trader Vics website shows it alive and well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.227.166.144 (talk) 18:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

The locations are correct.

The Chicago location was closed (after 48 years) because they were kicked out by new owners of The Palmer House Hilton in 2006. Trader Vic's is looking for a new locaion for the Chicago restaurant, which will be opened under a franchise agreement with Harry Caray's Restaurant Group.

The Beverly Hills location was also closed to make room for an expansion of the Beverly Hilton by adding three condo and hotel towers in a hotel within a hotel concept that will bear both the Beverly Hilton and the Waldorf-Astoria name. Trader Vic's was in the way of the expansion and has been torn down. The new location will be in Downtown LA near the Staples Center.IceBRG (talk) 01:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
