Tiki Archeology - The Aloha Lounge - General Tiki

Here's a few observations: The building in your photo looks significantly shorter than the Waikiki building, but it could possibly have a lower roofline at the back of the hotel. In your photo, there's a parked car and what appears to be lines for parking on either side of the entrance. Would there really be parking like this on the beach-front side of the hotel? Seems most of the beach front is pool and recreation area on the postcard. The Miami Beach location of the Waikiki Hotel is an East facing beach. Based on the shadow pattern in your photo, the Aloha Lounge couldn't be located on the beach side of the hotel, as the shadows would cast in the opposite direction. Just a few observations.... -- Detective Trader Pup :tiki:
