\"HV<\/p>\n

Hawaiian Village Restaurant and Hotel<\/p>\n

When I came across this card I had to get it because of its proximity to me. I have not been to Myrtle Beach. It is considered to be a very tacky and redneck place, but more and more I want to go to see what remnants are left there from the mid-century. It’s counterpart is near me in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, and there is a lot of vintage still there. So I have some hope this place stands in some form.<\/p>\n

\"back\"Being that it was “new” in 1965, this card is post-1965.<\/p>\n


\u00c2\u00a0\"Witco\"<\/p>\n

This set of carvings is intriguing. Is it Witco? The times are right, but these don’t look quite right. It is at least Witco inspired.<\/p>\n

\"biggy\"If anyone knows of the fate of this place, let me know. If anyone wants to sell me this giant carving that is junking up their garage, let me know.<\/p>\n
