BBQ in Pahoa: There used to be a BBQ about 6yrs ago. I don't think it lasted very long. It was there on one vacation and we were back about 7 months later & it was gone. It was in the spot where the pizza place is.
Cash & Carry: Yeah, it's nasty. I wouldn't consider buying perishibles from there. But at least it was around to save folks from a drive to Keaau before Malama. It is fine for ice, soda, newspaper etc. My husband has two tee shirts from there from years ago. They are pretty cool & have the logo with the little volcano on it. He cherishes them just like his Primo beer tee shirt. I would HATE to see a neon sign announcing Pahoa with a volvano on it. You were joking, right Glen
I would like to see Puna spruced up a bit. Maybe a few new places to eat (please, no chains!!) and maybe a nice gift type shop or a small book/record store. I think it needs to keep some of it's funkiness though. I like the idea of an art gallery. It doesn't have to be too highbrow.
It would be nice to see a few businesses that served the residents.
A nice full service drug store is the only chain type thing I could see wanting in Pahoa.
And as for Paul's, I still try to buy gas there when I am on BI.
