Well, I remember once they took them down for repainting and I got some pictures on a Quicktake100. That was when the Cinerama was still operating so 2003ish? The pictures where of really low quality and I think on a disc somewhere. I'm still working on tracking down the disk...

I've actually been going through old computer discs lately and finding some cool stuff.

Like... 1950 this article about Don The Beachcomber... before the library system had a decent working microfilm scanner.

But magically you can almost read it now that! It really sums up what the Beachcomber was and what he did for this resort! (NOTE, I have made it bigger! 5/13)

If in town, try the Big Kahuna on Kuhio! They have a drink in a fishbowl and a custom Tiki mug.
