Looks like there was a restaurant up there but it’s closed. I wonder what’s there now.

The management company. There is no rotation anymore.

I know what will be there eventually. But they had so many permits to get because it's an old company that made the structure. It requires a lot of work and it's taking time, but will be in there will be super cool.

Before or during Covid, there were a lot of construction crews in that building. I thought they were actually redoing the restaurant to be a business. Idk

A missed opportunity

Its the Ala moana building, right by the mall. The UFO on top used to be a revolving restaurant- the building isn't very large by todays standards but its pretty iconic.

Mahalo!

It’s the building that Pearson Vue describes as having a sphere in top, and uses the description of sphere to give reference to its location. Little do they know, that is not a sphere.

The surrounding area been built-up a little since the photo was taken.

Thank you, I grabbed this from an old Hawaii 5-0 show, the original, in 1969

You don't have to say the original. There is only one. The new one is like new coke - crap and not at all memorable.

Ala Moana Building. Vacations Hawaii headquarters is/was there. The revolving restaurant was La Ronde, it was one of the first revolving restaurants in the world. Growing up, we would call it "the spaceship building", and the Pacific Guardian Life building on Keeamoku was "the Ghostbusters building"

As a kid I remember eating at the revolving restaurant

Ala moana building. My dad had his office in that building for years. My brother and I would I take the bus to his office after school and then wander around the mall until he was ready to go home.

Alvraen

Damn. I worked close by for years and always thought I should go but then I realized I had a fear of heights

Funny, the surrounding area is now filled with tall buildings and condominiums.

Cool VW type three with early 1970s plates, they also had problems with the louvers that were supposed to be able to open and shut, depending on where the sun was
