Welcome to Pahoa

I probably don't have the whole story, and may be even wrong, but I understand the Luquins owner does own the Akibono and the parking lot. At some point in the past the other few owners in town were asked if they would kick in for asphalt and nobody stepped up. Of course as we see most of the village is not up to code so the building owners aren't spending much to maintain or upgrade. Last year Luquins installed the front gate, on their own property, and are now closing it overnight. Thankfully they don't lock the back gate or have the cars towed because there is no place else to park.
