    Lanikai and Kailua are changing, no doubt about it.

    In the 60's and 70's... anyone you see, nodded, smiled and basically, showed the usual ohana friendliness as they walked by.

    My worst fear is that their gonna tear down Holiday Mart and build a Costcos, Sam's, or heaven forbid another WalMart there.

    Did Kailua ever have a Kress store? Kaneohe had one (where Ross' is now)
