Welcome to the Pineapple Thread

The story of the Big Banana wouldn't be complete without offering some comments on Bob Johnson, who transformed the sleepy tourist site into a fun filled horticultural showcase. Inspired by the Big Pineapple of Hawaii, the Big Banana was purchased by accountant and entrepreneur Bob Johnson in 1989 and was refurbished to the tune of $30,000,000 dollars. Unfortunately for Bob the Big Banana went bust shortly thereafter and entered into receivership.

The furniture you see here on the Pineapple Thread has been lovingly collected to represent the work of craftsmen from around the world. Most are priceless artifacts so please... refrain from gnawing on the chair legs.
