Ala Moana Shopping Center

Honolulu, Hawaii - circa 196os

Gorgeous vintage postcard photo of a dazzling and colorful fountain in an outdoor court area at the Ala Moana Shopping Center. I believe this dates to sometime in the '60s. Caption on the back reads:

"Ala Moana Shopping Center - Pictured is a small portion of the fascinating array of fountains, trees, flowers, sculpture and art work found in this vast complex in Honolulu."

Ala Moana Shopping Center at night!

Honolulu, Hawaii - circa 196os

A rare nighttime aerial postcard photo of the Ala Moana Shopping Center (this is the Sears anchor side), taken in the '60s I believe--postmark is early '70s, however. I've shared lots of aerial pictures of this mall in the past (see "previous entries" below), but this is the first vintage one I've seen of Ala Moana at night, and I think it looks spectacular! (even considering the low quality of the original card--which it is)

For my retro mall money, this shot's definitely a keeper!

Mall Video: Ala Moana Shopping Center

Ala Moana Shopping Center, Honolulu, HI (2006)

Here's a nice little video tour (via Ben's Tours on YouTube) of the Ala Moana Shopping Center as it looks today. I kind of dug this and thought it might be of some interest here as it helps put the mall into some modern perspective for us (as does this link).
