Re: Big & Small Business Memories
Aha..I knew it was Buzz's. I called Buzz's and the girl told me the original Buzz's in Pearl City is where Waiau Zippy's is now. I too grew up in Waimalu but you got 6 years over me since you are 6 years older than me. I work with your classmate Allan Perreira. Pirate Bully Hayes took over the original Buzz's after Buzz's moved to Kaahumanu St. I heard the grenade explosion that night since I lived in Waimalu Gardens on Ponokaulike St. where the freeway is now being widen. Buzz's moved to Kaahumanu in the early 70s and Waiau Zippy's came up around 1979. Where you used to work Burger Boy became Waimalu Drive-Inn for less than a year then Waimalu Zippy's opened in 1972. Now there are 4 Zippy's in a 2 mile stretch on Kamehameha Hwy. from PearlRidge to Pearl City.
