Long-Term Airport Restaurant to “Fold Its Wings” in Response to SMO’s Tripling Of Rent and Other Harrasment Anywhere else a story like this would not be believed… that a city would drive out successful businesses, tax-payers, and other entities that brought attention, money, fame, and prosperity to its locale. Not only foolish and counter-productive, one has to wonder how something like this could happen here in America… and sadly, I really have no answer for you. And regardless of how all this plays out, if this doesn’t signify how rabidly anti-aviation Santa Monica has become, and how thoroughly anti-American this city has decided to play its cards, nothing will. This time, the victim is a bystander in the airport war… clearly showing that the City of Santa Monica is looking for a scorched earth approach to its simmering airport problem. Typhoon, a popular restaurant based along the perimeter of he airport, specializing in some amazing meals and exotic cuisine (I’ve been there… YUM!), is giving up the ghost and closing its doors… because the city is strangling it to death.
