Wow. I find myself stopping there several times a week. Have been for years. Always a pleasant experience.

@kalianna:
I thought MethMart was the 7-Eleven in Pahoa...*that* place is choke-scary!

Oh well. Looks like they KIND OF "fixed" it. There aren't as many holes and they aren't quite as deep, though I saw one that was still 6" deep or so. I was hoping they were going to put down asphalt.

Social media reported that the contractor dug/broke up the last several years of cold patch and other temporary solutions and graded / compacted it back down. So not a real repair, no paving, more like tearing off a bunch of band-aids and recycling them into a larger band aid.
If true, a couple of good rains, or one epic rain, will have it looking like a bombed-out runway again.

Why not put metal plates over it? “Temporarily.” Instead of pretending there’s some imminent repair coming from the menehunes?

Could make some big bucks with a metal plate rental company!

They better be card caring Union members!

I'm amazed that Hawaii can't manage basic infrastructure such as "paved roads" (or, in many cases, "adequate roads").
What's even more incredible is that people continue to tolerate it.
Is the "cheap land, low taxes" really worth crappy roads, no mail delivery, and gaming Amazon for packages?
Serious question.

Agreed. Have you seen what's happened to many of the big cities on the mainland? I'll take the Orchidland roads over sidewalks full of tents, feces, and needles any day.

Yeh. Good thing we don’t have any of that here in Hilo or Pahoa!
