Remember way back....
Way back to when we had to drive directly through Keaau and Pahoa?
We complained about the 10+ minutes it took to drive from Pahoa High School to the Pahoa Post office. When school was getting out or about to start, it could take you alot longer to get through town....
Remember when it used to take 15 to 20 minutes to get through Keaau Town on your way to or from Hilo? Sometimes it could take longer, like when school dismissed or if someone had a fender bender...
Then we built the "Pahoa BYPASS" to bypass the business district and create a traffic corridor to Keaau.
This worked so good, we then built the "Keaau BYPASS", to bypass the Keaau business district and get through traffic moving away from the Town Centers, instead of making everyone go directly through it.......
In my eyes... this is where the idea of Puna Town Centers was created.
If you have lived in the area for any amount of time, you should have no problem figuring out where the grocery store is located or any other business your in need of,
It does not have to be on our highway! LOL
How soon we forget [B)]
