Re: Big & Small Business Memories

So if we say, "Linkmeister sent us", she going give us discount or what?

I like that name. One of our executive management staff calls me "Pomeister". Really!

Snort! Somehow I doubt it. No need discount anyway...their prices are pretty good for what you get. Try the salad bar.

A long standing "mom & pop" still around is the HYGIENIC STORE in Kahalu'u on the windward side of Oahu.

Basically a "7-11" type of store with everything from groceries to band aids.

They were infamous in the 70's & 80's not so much for the store, but the banyan tree next to it that was a "store" in itself for Pakalolo dealers & consumers. Everyone who grew up on that side knew about it.. including the police. Eventually it cleaned up and now is just famous for being what it is... the Hygienic store.

You guys should eat at Buzz's Pearl City sometime and say hello to my sister; she's a manager there. She graduated Aiea HS '78 (I think).

I went to Aiea HS from 1973-1977 and Edwina Siu was the teacher there. Her daughter Ann Mary went to school with my sister at St. Elizabeth. My father grad with Edwina Siu's husband Stanley from St. Louis 54'. My friend Greg Kanae was with the Swinging Singers in 1975. I was looking in the Swinging Singers website and noticed Myra Okamura who I didn't know until recently is a nurse of my doctor at Straub and Benjamin Pascua who was in my English class in high school.

You grad with Pablo Rabanal. I read your blog about working at Waimalu Burger Boy. That was years ago. Didn't one of the Grance boys worked there? Didn't you rmom work at Value Drugs Waimalu?

Re: Club 'n Nightlife from Oahu's Past

The Sting!!!! Thank you for remembering that place. I remember it well. Talk about disco and skateboarding...how about Sweet City Disco in the Chinese Cultural Plaza back in the mid to late 70's.

Don't forget Atlantis Nightclub

Wasn't Sweet City Disco was in the International Food Court in Pearlridge during the 70s?
