"The alcoves displaying jewelry. Why would a bar display jewelry?' ** Because they sold jewelry? In his review of Portland Oregon's Aloha Room in his 1957 book Be My Guest In The Pacific Northwest Bill Spiedel. Jr. wrote: "I do not wish to create the impression that the (Aloha Room) is laden with bric-a-brac from the South Seas. What might be thought of as souvenir items are found across the hall in the Lanai Room- a combination gift shop and cocktail lounge." (The full entry on the Aloha Room is HERE.) |
