The 1970s were supposed to be a low point - but actually saw the opening of the Polynesian Village Resort at Disney World, Hawaii 5-0's biggest popularity on TV, the Brady Bunch going to Hawaii, Waikiki's high rise building boom, and a huge expansion in sales for Hawaiian clothing manufacturers. The demise of small local Tiki bars was because it all went big nationally, not the opposite. Just ask Magnum. You'll find him, Rick and TC at the beachside bar of the King Kamehameha Club.
