I miss that great building next to the Waikikian pictured above! Glad you posted a pic I could save of it! While I'm no fan of the huge building that fills the space where this building & The Waikikian used to be, in all fairness, and to add some sort of positive note..I must say, the lagoon fronting the place beachside is in better shape & lovelier than it EVER was under the Waikikian. They did a really nice job when they redid the lagoon, or upgraded it, creating a system where fresh seawater circulates inside the lagoon, making the center island really beautiful & it's swimmable now (it was really gross to try & swim in it when I moved here in 81) & there are paddle boats now. I think it's quite a nice spot.


Paradise is a state of mind.
