Ala Wai Soul: Can Bowl-O-Drome be saved?

http://alawaisoul.blogspot.com/2009/03/can-bowl-o-drome-be-saved.html

Okay maybe was stank sometimes . but was good fun! Friday, March 27, 2009. Can Bowl-O-Drome be saved? Yes, I know the property and structure (what's left of it) are owned by Bishop Estate. That doesn't mean there can't be a creative, inspiring vision. Here's my vision, and whether you find it lacking in any way is just fine by me. 1 Restore the building. That's right. Crumbling, aging and musty, the building is a true landmark that was a sidekick to the old Honolulu Stadium. Doubt me? I wish there were a...

Ala Wai Soul: August 2009

http://alawaisoul.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Okay maybe was stank sometimes . but was good fun! Wednesday, August 26, 2009. This machine is still on the ‘Iolani school campus after decades. As kids, we used to walk over from Ala Wai Park to Club 100 for ice-cold water to drink. Sometimes we'd venture to the tennis courts at ‘Iolani, where they also had ice-water fountains PLUS this ice-cream machine. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Boys and Girls Club.

Ala Wai Soul: McCully Fire Station update

http://alawaisoul.blogspot.com/2009/03/mccully-fire-stadium-update.html

Okay maybe was stank sometimes . but was good fun! Friday, March 27, 2009. McCully Fire Station update. Most of my friends will probably agree: one of the best things about the old fire station was the soda machine out back. Was only 25¢ for a can of Diamond Head, circa 1978. Grape and Strawberry were my favorites. Labels: McCully-Moiiliili Fire Station. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Boys and Girls Club. McCully Bike and Sporting Goods. HIC / Blaisdell Arena.

Ala Wai Soul: Kokua Market

http://alawaisoul.blogspot.com/2009/09/kokua-market.html

Okay maybe was stank sometimes . but was good fun! Sunday, September 13, 2009. The Michael Jackson tribute mural gets the attention, but it's the other mural that gets to my heart. Kokua Market moved in years ago, but before that, the location was the site of Mo‘iliæili Store. Good memories of that place and the nice ladies who worked there. My mom always liked shopping there. Labels: Kamo‘ili‘ili. Like your site :). September 24, 2009 at 10:50 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Boys and Girls Club.

Okay maybe was stank sometimes . but was good fun! Tuesday, April 1, 2008. Does it just seem like a lot of classic spots are shutting their doors lately? Or is it reality? Let's take a look back at the past several months. 8226; Kam Bowl. Demolished entirely, even the entrance with the "triangle" structure. Walgreen's on the way. 8226; Masu's Massive Plate Lunch. Closed shop for good. 8226; McCully Fire Station. Located in Mo'ili'ili. Construction for a new fire station is underway. Boys and Girls Club.

Ala Wai Soul: Fishing the Ala Wai in the olden days

http://alawaisoul.blogspot.com/2010/07/fishing-ala-wai-in-olden-days.html

Okay maybe was stank sometimes . but was good fun! Saturday, July 24, 2010. Fishing the Ala Wai in the olden days. I was never a fisherman anywhere, not like guys who are seriously into it. But there are plenty of folks who experienced fishing all over, including the Ala Wai Canal back in the days when it was much less polluted. This morning, I came across a great blog at Kaulapi World. One day, probably, the entire watershed will be restored by Mother Nature. We probably won't be around to see folia...

Okay maybe was stank sometimes . but was good fun! Tuesday, March 25, 2008. RIP Varsity Theater (1938-2008). The theater itself still stands, but will be demolished soon enough. That's when the finality will really be upon us, those of us who grew up in this great place and felt a deeply-rooted sense of loss as progress stomps on history and culture. See photos of the Varsity Theater's final night of operation on Ryan Ozawa's Flickr page. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Boys and Girls Club. 25¢ hot dog.
