I discovered an undocumented image of a Polynesian restaurant while sorting a batch of vintage 35mm slides last night. Dated May 1964 this color slide doesn't really show much at first glance but upon close scrutiny reveals this is the Trade Winds and is of early vintage. Taken at the lagoon area shortly after the restaurant's initial opening, you may spot the Trade Winds signature tiki (hiding in shadows) and a Richard Ellis Moai style head too. Pretty cool! Without this thread with many great photos already posted, I probably wouldn't have put two and two together and identified this image. Enjoy!
