OCEAN VIEW INN CLOSING IN KONA
The landmark Ocean View Inn on Ali'i Drive in Kona is closing this weekend after more than 70 years of serving Chinese and local food.
Customers over the years included many celebrities. Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, James Stewart and Roy Rogers all ate at the restaurant. Ronald Kam and his family have run the eatery since his grandmother served her first meal there in 1934.
"There's mixed emotions," Kam said of the closing. "Each of us had something here. It was our life. On Sunday there will be no celebration. We'll just fade into the sunset."
