If you arrived via plane, it might have been on PanAm and as you drove out of the airport you would drive past this fountain.
Many people now complain about the lack of air conditioning in the main terminal. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright who looked at the site then and no doubt felt the trade winds that he felt would provide natural cooling through the open-air lobby. Subsequent construction of parking structures and freeway ramps in the open lots you see in this picture have all but blocked the trades!On your way into Waikiki you might stop by Kapiolani Drive-in at the corner of Ala Moana Blvd and Ena Rd. The Wailana Condominium (and Coffee shop) are located there now.
Tops Coffee Shop was on Kalakaua Ave. across from Ft. DeRussy.
On your way into Downtown you would pass by Aloha Motors.
...and depending on which era, across Kalakaua was
KauKau Korner...
Coco's....
..or the Hard Rock Cafe
I'll post more pictures next time!
