Pahoa; cool small town contest

[Kelena]

Mmmmmm....not sure about this. In Pahoa, there's a shopping center thingy with a tire shop and an overpriced grocery store which attracts people who like to shuffle really slowly as they block aisles and a store that sells lavalavas and stuff from Indonesia and then you can leave there and drive to a drug store that just looks like a drug store --no adorable old soda fountain in it. If you leave there you can drive past a 7/11 on the left with suspicious people hanging out in front it and then a smoke shop on the right with an even odder collection. Continuing on, you drive a little ways to a smattering of older buildings. You get out of your car and if you do a death dash across the street to the side that doesn't have the giant bad Mexican restaurant on it (the one with the tables where when you put your arms down on them you go "ick"), there is a wooden sidewalk thingy with multiple changes in elevation that allows you to go from the iffy Thai restaurant to the better one at the other end. On your way out, you can swing down to the "health food store" in front of which you will see some parents who might make you think that perhaps we should consider making human spay and neuter clinics more widely available, just as we do with dogs and cats. All of the aforementioned are deodorant-free zones.

This tour takes less than 17 minutes which still leaves you time to go check out Holualoa or Hawi or Honoka'a. But if it makes you happy, I will click on the link and vote. My heart won't be in it though. Go....daggers? Daggers?
