Heard it through the "Grapevine", private transport no need weigh-station.

Got it BTW BG, just did not see humor or relevance .... Hence my post.

I used to live near a charming little shop called the Low Cost Meat Market. Always busy!

Pog - beejee is sound. I'll write a reference if necessary. I think you're picking on the wrong person.

[beejee]

Thanks jrw. I've been over the saddle a few times but never to Kona. 3 hours isn't too bad for a trip once in a while.

[beejee]

Thanks for the kind words Tom.

There's a new petition to request a Costco for Hilo side here:

Yes: Keaau better fill up that shiny new "medium-density Urban" designation.

I'm hoping for a Lowe's, even though it doesn't fit their Corporate Guidelines ("be across the street from Home Depot").

Lowes had already planned to come to Hilo and then they pulled out. Their decision put the kabash on building a new shopping center near the airport that included some other chain stores including a Petco. Lowes was going to be the anchor store. They probably used their sales data from their Kona ghost-town store (it's always empty) in making their decision. Crazy they opened up in Kona when the fastest growing part of the state is on the other side of the island. Not a good business acumen to locate a home building store a hundred miles from 55,000 undeveloped vacant lots, especially considering all the DIY permitted and unpermitted builders.
