Nice article in the Star Advertiser by one of their reporters covering the lava flow. What to do, see, and enjoy, with recommendations on where to eat:
Unfounded volcano fears are keeping many tourists away from the Big Island, so any dollars you drop along the way will be helping locally owned businesses hit hard by the disaster.
A little seedier and less hip than Haleiwa on Oahu’s North Shore, Paia on Maui and similar hamlets that have undergone makeovers in recent years, Pahoa has its charms.
Since the 1960s, the area has been a magnet for hippies and other alt-lifestylers whose influence is evident in the town’s New Age boutiques, smoke shops, awa bars and funky cafes housed in wooden storefronts, and in the free spirits — or “Punatics” as they are known — who stroll the sidewalks.
