DOLLAR BILLS ON THE WALLS: CONFIRMED

Recently, I wrote about the Mar Vista restaurant in
Longboat Village, Florida, where I read that dollar bills
are attached the the walls as part of the decor. I asked
if any of our readers could confirm this.

Robert Zavos writes: "This restaurant is less than 10 miles
from my home in Sarasota, although Sarasota Bay is in
between so it about a 35 minute drive. I had driven past
but never eaten there and had no idea of the numismatic
theme on the walls. It is just as reported. There are two
walls in the inside dining area with dollar bills. The
restaurant is quite busy and has marvelous vistas.

This is located right on the western side of Sarasota Bay
on a barrier Island called Long Boat Key. Due to incredible
increases in waterfront property prices over the last 5 years
or so there are very few single family homes in the area
that sell for under $1 million and most are a lot higher than
that so it would be a good place to meet a millionaire."

Robert attached two photos in his email, clearly showing
scads of one dollar notes covering two walls of the
restaurant. Thanks!
