Today's finds...

Three faced bucket mug from Hawaiian Gardens, San Jose CA.

I believe Hawaiian Gardens is the restaurant where my parents had their wedding dinner in 1942.

Does anyone have any info on this place? What years it was in existence?
I looked for it when I went on a trip to San Jose, but found no evidence of it. Also, the church where they got married had just burned down one year prior to my visit. I did find their first apartment however.

Thanks.

I found a Hawaiian Gardens surfer girl mug yesterday at Goodwill and that prompted me to look on Flickr for more info. Here is a great architect rendering of the place with some great history!
