I think it must have been taken by the person who photographed the Hawaiian Isle & Inn and the Tahitian Inn card because all three have the same timed exposure thing going on. The building is the same, except the A-frame is gone, the tikis are gone and the rock/brick walls are covered in this weird white siding. So, it doesn't look anything like the old building other than the basic layout and the windows. They have a bar, but it isn't polynesian at all. Judging by the third card you posted, it is easy to see why no one can remember anything about the Hawaiian Inn. It must have gone disco... latin-style. The Hula card is the one I had spotted about two years ago on e-bay. Thanks for posting it. KG [ Edited by: Kailuageoff on 2004-01-15 15:24 ]
