absolutely nothing to see there - the location was completely bulldozed and replaced with a new construction "99" restaurant. I live 3 miles from the location and drive by twice a week. The Hawaiian Gardens in Seabrook was another of the old school classic tiki joints. upon entering you could choose to walk left to the dining room, or choose to turn right and walk over the bridge to the lounge. In the late 70's the place was a favorite spot for locals to sip scorpion bowls and watch live rock and roll - you could almost be certain the cops would stop by on a Saturday night as a brawl would surely ensue. Sunday afternoons were a little more calm as the lounge crowd were home nursing their hangovers or still in jail waiting to be bailed out.
Seabrook is an "interesting" town - Many incorrectly argue that it was the inspiration for the comic strip 'Lil' Abner, as artist Al Capp lived and is buried in my home town. Seabrook has always been less than adored and you will find many of those "images of Walmart" photos actually being shot at the Seabrook Walmart. In its earliest days, Seabrook was home to just threee families primarily, and the story goes that the three families interbred till they became a bit crazy. Yes the nuclear plant is alive and well - we just recieved our 2012 Emergency Management wall calendars with 12 calendar pages and another 12 pages of evacuation routes and basic information to survive a nuclear meltdown more comfortably! The restaurant is on the commercial business strip on route 1. There is also a very beautiful beach on the atlantic Ocean, where you can sunbathe in the shadow of the Seabrook Nuclear Power station.
