"Now I live near Honokaa and the place is growing leaps and bounds. We are pulling to gather as a community in ways I am so proud of. We are beating the dust out our little town and good things are on the horizon.
I have been shocked at my trips to Pahoa before and after the Lava flow. The heart seems to have disappeared from little Pahoa. It seems like old Honokaa, sad, forgotten and lost."
We lived at the top of Ahualoa for many years, Honokaa was a great little town! The sewer project did quite a bit of damage to the viability of it's small businesses . The road of course was disrupted and the tourist trade was cut off. Many of the small businesses could not remain afloat. I agree that Honokaa town is making a comeback and I am so happy to see it thrive once again.
Both Pahoa and Honokaa have the quaint historical structures but I would say the similarities end there.
