    I gotta admit that it was our first date ....... and it was her choice. But, we stayed in the front seat and didn't stick around for the second feature (I don't remember the title).

        This article in the Star Bulletin today confirms plans on the closure of the Keolu Theater and Aikahi in Kailua.

        The Keolu Center Cinemas are set to shut down by the end of April, while the Aikahi Park Shopping Center is negotiating for a new tenant to take over the Aikahi Twin theater space.
        The days of the dollar movies are numbered.
        I'm still here. Are you?

          This begs the question when did the Wallace Theaters become the Hollywood Theaters?

            Holiday Theaters was owned at one time by Holiday Mart right?

            The Theaters that were once at the Windward Shopping Center are now 24 Hour Fitness.

              Ala Moana used to be a nice place to visit and shop. Now, outside of a few places like Sears and Longs, it's all for the tourists and fashion folks. There's got to be more that I haven't mentioned.

                Hmmm, and the Enchanted Lake Cinemas (literally next door to the Keolu Cinemas) closed a few years ago. Definitely part of a trend where the 2 or 4 screen theaters in midsize shopping centers are closing as movie fans flock to the larger, more modern megaplexes.

                  Really? There was a Leeds at AMC? Come to think of it I haven't needed a Leed's (dyed to match shoes and purse) since high school!

                  That was always my favorite store for gifts. Lotsa handmade pottery, blown glass, yada, yada. Some really gorgeous stuff. They eventually ended up in Kahala Mall. Not being much of a shopper, I believe TFS is gone now. Too bad.

                    Yeah was in street level, ocean & ewa side of the shopping center. More or less where Sam Goody (or whatever it's called now) resides.

                      It's not just those Ala Moana restaurants that have closed. Almost all of the restaurants owned by Andrew Wong's family have shut down. (Andy's Drive In, Andrew's, Orson's, Coral Reef, Chinese Chuckwagon and Seafood Emporium.) The only ones that remain in business are Byron's Drive In near the airport and Chowder House at Ward Warehouse.
