Hawaii's Ala Moana Center



The first shopping mall in "Huh-vah-ee" opened in August 1959, just
17 days before the islands became our 50th state. By the way, "Ala
Moana" means "Path to the Sea" in the native tongue.

My father went here a few years ago and said there was some sort of train to transport people from one side to another in the mall. What of you heard of this?

Jonah,

He's referring to the Pearlridge Center, an enclosed mall in Aiea, which is northwest of Honolulu.

The enclosed mall is situated with two seperate buildings...connected via a monorail line.

Cheers
