[@JAnotherday]

So beautiful where have all the good old days gone and the good ol people of Hawaii and the way the land used to be? It's only a memory a beautiful memory captured in videos such as this. Beautiful times long gone. I'm so glad I was able to find this video

I first came to Honolulu in 1984 in the Army at age 19...pretty cool when this was being filmed I was up at Schofield Barracks that day working in my motor pool I bet.....Loved Honolulu back then more simple.....I am moving back in winter of 2024 to retire at age 60....40 years after my first arrival....all the people here that are 50 and above are dead in this video, just as I will be in 40 years, but happy to be dying in Hawaii...when I watch this I am reminded to be present every day...especially living in Hawaii....my only regret that in 1984 I did not appreciate that special time in Honolulu when this was filmed, but I will not make the same mistake twice....

I remember Kam Housing very well. It no longer looks like that but I remember walking through that neighborhood where the sidewalks was all kine buss up! Lol Miss the old Kalihi days. I grew up in Kalihi Valley Homes better known as Kam IV housing. Miss the old days

[@howellwong11]

I lived next to Kalihi Stream on Dillingham Blvd up till 1939, then moved to Kalihi Kai next to Puuhale Road until 1953. Both homes were next to the railroad.tracks. I left Hawaii in 1953. I remember the opening of Kam Housing across Farrington High, which was also new, around 1940. I remember pig farms at Kam IV Road as well as down by the crematory on Puuhale Road. People from Okinawa were usually pig farmers. Later, pig farms moved to the base of Koko Head where Hawaii Kai now stands.

Wow… thanks for the trip down memory lane. I remember every building and especially the mechanical horse fronting that store and the #1 bus and terminal at Umi st. The shopping center where Kalihi bowl was . Kalihi is and always will be a special place for me 🤙🏾 Aloha

[@felichia808]

Great segment on Kalihi. It's a trip to see how much has changed since then.

[@mr808steelers]

Brah, Hall Saimin, Sue store, violets coffee shop and eh, Q’s-drive-in. Tamashiro’s, Old Vienna Bakery. Oh remember Suyat Store after that they had that POW always has a nice day place. I forget the name. It was right there on N. King/Hikina Lane

[@mr808steelers]

I remember that store with the horse. I used to ride it all the time when we walking to and from FARRINGTON HIGH SCHOOL POOL.

[@JB-sv5pr]

#1 bus 😊

[@Pigsbloodonyou]

I like the horse riding very strong thrusting going on lol

[@dougl945]

Kalihi was scary. A ghetto.

[@howell7136]

Not in my time. My first 21 years was spent in Kalhi. I was born on Dillingham, next to Kalihi Stream and moved to Kalihi Kai, next to Puuhale School and the railroad tracks in 1939. I left Hawaii in 1953. Kalihi was a nice place to live. I think that public housing in Kalihi attracted all the bad elements to move there.

So sad to see what is now gone and overrun. It wasn't perfect, but at least it had a moral compass. Look at the Aala Park on the video. Not a "hobo" in sight. Now, when I participate in the City Lights Parade, the start area at Aala is urine, needles and insane individuals. Will our world ever return to normalcy?

40s,50s was a time of Beauty in kalihi and palama. Every thing about it was pristine pure and clean. From moanalua to Waikiki was pure and clear. You could see diamond head from kalihi valley clear to Eva Beach. Every whereyoustopped were artesian wells and the sweetest waters ever. County and state capped every source of Free flowing water for their benefit of making $$$$$$s , it continues to this day and want you to believe that it's theirs to do as they will," I say no, no" it belongs to the kanaka Has, is, always has been. Çounty and state Represents lies
