The Glades Project

[1stwahine]

The Glades Project is a documentary in the making that will take another year. They are looking for anyone who can share what they remember, experienced and so forth at the Glades on Hotel Street. They also will be going to several cities across America to interview and film many who are not here but played a relevant role.

The Glades Project has been and will continue researching for the next year. There is also a need for photographs, commemorative items, printed materials such as newspaper articles, wardrobe from the shows, and film of The Glades and Downtown Honolulu from this time.

Re: The Glades Project

I was too young (still a teenager in the 70's) and I remember Glades Nightclub. We would drive by (you could drive your car on Hotel street those days) and those buggahs would give us one "Free Show" Ho da sick when we saw da bulge undaneath.

In 1977 I got one major slap in the face from my then girlfriend when as we drove by those "darlings" in front of Glades that they looked better than she did. WHAP!! Boy did I deserve that one.

Is Club Hubba Hubba still there? Kinda across the street from Glades.

Re: The Glades Project

Boy those were the days. There was Arirong (spelling?) and what was the Korean Bar where Dunkin' Donuts is on Kapiolani BLVD. Lets see some of the props used were: shooting ping pong balls and hard boiled eggs, picking up a stack of quarters, smoking cigars, and that clear lucite swing where she would lift and shoot a glow stick thru the air! Oh yeah and the gal who could play Dixie on her flute. All these props were used by those young women's lips and I ain't talking about their mouths. Oh boy Miss Star Wars where are you (I think her last name was Pai, her brother was my classmate at Kalani)

I was a teenager during that time. You lucky you had the experience of driving by and getting a free show! Me, I raised in the area, family owned businesses in the area, so I couldn't make fun. Years later and presently, many have become my friends that I adore and have so much goodtime with. One thing good is that if anyone would happen to go into a "gay " bar and make trouble with me...all of a sudden LOW voices would come out of the pretty darlings telling the buggah, "hey! buddy leave our sista/auntie alone or we going broke your okole!"

Hubba Hubba...just so happens to be located next to the closed downed "Benny's Resturant" that my family owned for many years. The owner wants to fix it up again like it was in the hey day. Upstairs is satisfactory but now with the Loft in Chinatown being a new thing to try out, who knows if the Hubba Hubba will ever return. Tourists still take pictures of it's marquee, which is still hanging for dear life. The cement on the wall fronting the building slowly drops and makes it dangerous for anyone who passes by. How do I know this? I was the one who was sweeping the cement for years.

Aaah...the memories. Hotel Street was a place to go! It was never a dull moment, colorful people, sailors, gypseys, etc. Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passes....

Like I said, those were the good old days. After cruising Hotel street we would go cruising down to Waikiki and check out Kuhio Avenue for some real peep shows.
