In Nov.'s issue of Waikiki Magazine (a tourist rag) is an article by Karyl Reynolds with some cool late '50s pix of the IMP and she assures us that "tho the heyday of Donn Beach's Coconut Bazzare is over the refurbished area for shopping and cultural sharing will maintain the welcoming atmosphere that was essential to the original IMP while hoping to bring vitality back in a way that honors the nostalgic Waikiki landmark".

Nice job, Karyl Her article is here. (pp48-49)

Karyl edited "Waikiki Tiki: Art, History, and Photographs." I know her well.

Ace, let me form some thoughts on your post... I'll be back with comments.

12/7/2013 will be my last walking tour. If anyone's in town and want to hear Donn and see Tiki, come along.
