It used to be known as "The Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center,
" but they dropped the word SHOPPING!!!! Is there still shopping?

Here are few shots of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping center which is
ALSO under construction! When finished, they say you'll be able to see
the Royal Hawaiian Hotel with no obstructions!

Soon to be passage!	The old Center Stage area!	Beachwalk Side	Another section along the street.
Cartier is OPEN!	Escalator to 2nd Floor!	Your guess is as good as mine?	A display area!
Lots of empty stores!	Cheesecake Factory is OPEN	Across the street more construction movie theatre gone!	Completion Date? Don't know... Maybe when the rain stops...we'll know!
