dope video makes me miss when i lived there in the countryside and drive through Kalihi Valley every morning to do deliveries. Thank You for the memories. Aloha!

[@BraddahBruce]

I'm glad it brought back fond memories. That is one of my goals of creating these videos! 🍍😎🤙🌴🥥🌺🌈

[@jeffyoung60]

All the years I lived in Kalihi-Palama and don't recall ever driving up Kalihi Valley. Why? My parents and family had no reason to. This is a residential area and we didn't know anyone there. We would have driven on the main roads to commercial areas mostly. So Kalihi Valley, even though I heard of it, is still unknown to me.

[@BraddahBruce]

That's how my parents also raised us. My dad was from Kalihi Valley. My uncle and a cousin still lives deep in the valley. Thanks for watching! 🍍😎🤙🌴🥥🌺🌈

Kalihi, a Polynesian word, is not unique to Hawaii. It is used elsewhere in Polynesia, even Micronesia. Outside of Hawaii, Kalihi is spelled, Kahili.

[@BraddahBruce]

I apologize if you felt I was claiming the word as only Hawaiian. There are many similarities throughout Polynesia. Kahili is something totally different here in Hawai'i. Kalihi in Hawaiian means a place of transition. Kahili A kāhili is a symbol of the aliʻi chiefs and families of the Hawaiian Islands. It was taken by the Kamehamehas as a Hawaiian royal standard and used by the Royal Families to indicate their lineage. The kāhili has long been a symbol of the Hawaiian aliʻi chiefs and the noble houses of the Hawaiian Islands. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalihi I have heard the history of Hawai'i includes the people of Micronesia. 🍍😎🤙🌴🥥🌺🌈

@@BraddahBruce No, I wasn't scolding you. I was just mentioning a piece of Polynesian trivia.

[@BraddahBruce]

@Grande Artiste that's cool. It's amazing how the various Polynesian cultures are linked and yet unique. I just got done watching one of your videos. My brother had one of those metal robots.

@@BraddahBruce Hawaii was amazing even though it was raining like most of the time was there but it’s okay! As long as I had fun with ohana and all I still enjoyed it! We did go to Ala Moana mall I tried my first poke that’s for sure! And of course I hit the Kpop stores in the mall! I was sad to leave on Sunday but then again I did get some cute pics of me and my baby cousin!

@The roadrunner Jarhead sorry, not sorry...lol When I lived in Colorado, I felt the same way. Where do you live? Is there a drive you would like to see?

[@theroadrunnerjarhead4109]

@@BraddahBruce I live in a small Central Valley town in California, moved from Hawaii in the 80s because I was married to a woman in the military who got transferred to California. Spent 38 years in inland north county of San Diego before moving here after marrying a widow. It’s nice here but not like Hawaii.

[@theroadrunnerjarhead4109]

@@BraddahBruce it would be nice to see a drive from Waianae to makapuu to the north shore then to mililani.

Lived at 3583-E Kalihi St, just above Tin Roof in the late 60’s to early 70’s. Much development since then. Many memories.

[@craigpagaduan6376]

Actually lived at Jesse’s Apartments (across Kalihi Uka School), then Kamanaiki St before we moved to the end of the valley. This was mid-60’s. Played keyboards and sang for a group called “The Morgue Men” with Jesse Santiago, Alan Kawamoto and Paul Sayurin. I now live in Waimea on the Big Island.
