Tony Roma in Waikiki is closing.

I just had exited the Waikiki Brewing Company after having dinner there today (05/29/23) and a couple of people stop me and asked where is Tony Roma. While I pointed in the general direction of the place I also told them it had closed in 2019 or so. Looking at the Walkoff Balk's post, it was around the October 2020 time frame, so I was off by almost a year.

A couple of places on Dillingham Blvd has closed:

• Popeye's Chicken the one shown on Lost and by Burger King. No idea when it closed but noticed that the building's windows were boarded up when I was in the area on Saturday (10/15/22).

Someone told me that the Dillingham location of Popeyes moved. It moved a block or two in the ewa direction and across the street from an elementary school.
