It would be another huge blow if the Hawaiiana disappears. On the other hand I wonder how much longer it can last. Redevelopment pressure in Waikiki is intense and standing directly in the shadow of the trump tower development are several artifacts of old Waikiki I would prefer weren't lost. But when Chuck's steakhouse disappeared to make room for ol trumpy I felt for sure the future was written for Saratoga and Beach Walk roads. The Hawaiiana I believe is quite successful as a business, but the value of that real estate is beyond belief. Hope I'm wrong, but took lots of pictures of Hawaiiana and its tikis last time there. I'll probably end up photodocumenting the whole area all the way up to Kalakaua.
