I’m posting while drunk so please go easy on me here,
Sounds like it's time to subdivide Hawaii County into 3 or possibly 4 counties (no picking on me for that comment). There's far too much $ handed to the one county to address the needs of the entire region properly, things as I've seen are far too "lopsided" with regard to county funding application.
Time to grow a bit by government standards (I really hate that too, seriously). Either that or the county needs to restructure to meet the vast region it represents. I really don't know yet... I need to get back there again and figure it out, so I remain ignorant on that count.
Anyhow; I was just curious if there was a group or committee in place to fix up Pahoa Town.
If there is...
I volunteer my labor services, less materials cost... to fix up the front of any building out there. Wood work, paint, window replacement, etc...
Anyone on here who owns a building on the main road out there.. write me and when I get there, I'll help you get it perked up and like it was in its glory days all while building our new house if need be.
For those not aware of what can happen when an old place is restored or a theme introduced to a town...
Check out Leavenworth Wa. for a classic example. I'd really hate to see anymore of that steel building strip mall crap grow out there like that place off 130... that is the wrong approach and will, no doubt, backfire in the long run.

This is a great example of what can happen to an otherwise worthless town (no insult intended) if it's nurtured properly. An example of what I meant by that, it means Leavenworth, Wa. Would be a gas station and a burger joint had they not adopted what they did.
Pahoa has the heritage to be something very noteworthy in the future.

Considering we were flying to Hilo in the morning, I'm taking Kane's drunk comment as a joke after having a beer that night. Anything in his post sound like a drunk? How about his other posts in that thread? We were flying to Hilo that following morning. We don't get drunk before or while flying. As for Rob's three comments you linked to...the 2014 link doesn't work. The other two links we weren't involved in those conversations.
I haven't refused to acknowledge that people might post while impaired. Your logic is impaired in that regard. I won't acknowledge that Kane and/or I routinely or typically post while impaired by any type of intoxicant. Why? Because it isn't true.
eta: Substance abuse is not the same as having a drink or two several times a year.
