The Waikiki beach area and surrounding areas were constantly dotted with construction cranes even though the Alohalani steel frame stood for four years until another company finished it and renamed it the Park Shore.<br>It's good to hear the entire Five-O theme which Columbia Broadcasting played the first season. Was that one by the Ventures? I have heard two or three versions of it during the show's run.<br> Hawaii and especially Honolulu seem to be mired in constant changes, everything from the demise of the original HRT and the Hawaii Newspaper Agency to the breakup of the three main TV and radio station systems.<br>At least the Ilikai isnt being torn down like the travesty happning to all the original hotels and casinos in Las Vegas.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[NailbiterHank]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 10th 2009 4:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/07/10/famous-waikiki-hotel-shuts-down/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/07/10/famous-waikiki-hotel-shuts-down/</guid><description><![CDATA[Loved hearing the whole Hawaii 5-0 theme.

Took my kids to Hawaii several years ago and walked through the Illikai, brought back memories since both parents and my brother are gone.

I'm from Florida and the beaches do not compare to Hawaii's beaches.Yes, it does cost a lot more, but you can not compare the 2. It is possible to go to Hawaii and not spend a fortune, I have and I'm going back again. Right now they have some great deals on flights and hotels. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Beth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 11th 2009 3:26PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
