It's so strange that even though my maternal grandparents lived in Hallandale in the 1970s, I have no recollection of Sun Wah. I was far too young to recall the South Pacific--I turned four in 1975, and even though it's silly for me to think this, but I feel, I don't know, "ripped off" by not having grown up during that earlier period of South Florida history LOL (born and raised here). It is impressive that the South Pacific managed to last as long as it did what with the Mai-Kai being so iconic and popular.
