True MadDog, I'd like to do some picts. of the surrounding small town of Laie, Should call It Polynesiaville :). First, the small university next door which was built during the Poly Pop heyday of the sixties.
Rebuilding one of the Women's dorms with a small outrigger that I didn't noticed before:

Tighter:

Simple outrigger on married Apt/Dorms - Single story building:

Two-story version:

the above buildings are original from the 60s, below is a more recent and a modern Polynesian architecture - the Library. No wonder I was happy when I went to that school.

Wide view of the replacement McDonalds (behind tiki) in Laie (still in construction). Not as cool as the former Maori style McDonalds but at least it is not the typical square box and it has a little Hawaiian roof. Behind it is the new Marriott Courtyard and behind to the right is part of the Polynesian Culture Center (PCC):

Front of the new Marriott Courtyard with a Hawaiian style porte cochere:

Tighter shot of the porte cochere with a Samoan hut roof on the left from the PCC.
