Re: It's Chili In Hawaii, move or pau?

They are no longer in Moiliili, on King St.

Chili in Hawaii is moving again! The Shipping Shack dude is moving, so we're "taking it on the road" so-to-speak. We'll be at the Aloha Stadium Swap meet & shows at the Blaisdell. Our next show is the Food & New Products show October 16, 17 & 18, 2009. If you want to be added to our mailing list, e-mail us chiliinhawaii@gmail.com

We thank everyone for their patronage!! See you soon!!

Re: Disappearing establishments

7-11 on Kinau Street and Piikoi is gone. I was wondering when this would happen with the new 7-11 just a few blocks down the road.

Those two 7-11s were in close proximity. But with all the one way street streets in that area, both locations were attracting motorists coming from different directions. The Kinau St. store was catching a lot of drivers making a right turn from Beretania before going onto the nearby H-1 onramp. Too bad it closed. Now those same Beretania St. drivers have to make a detour to Young St. if they want to get to the King/Piikoi 7-11. Not very convenient. But maybe even 7-11 has to trim down its operations in order to cope with this economy.

Eastside Grill has been closed for a long time - like last year?

Shows how often I get over to that area!

Found out it closed November 2008, the same year it was voted one of the Top 3 sports bars in the Bulletin.

Erika reports this morning that Pasta & Basta @ Restaurant Row (can it be called that anymore?) is shutting down.

It took awhile, but I guess this turned out to be the correct call after all...

... is this one going straight to the "Disappearing Establishments" thread?

Re: Disappearing establishments

Was chatting earlier with Kory K on FB and, oh yes, one place I especially miss is the long-gone Hot Lava Cafe. Used to go once a week to see John Cruz there.

Good one. Sunday nights were always awesome. First the also-disappeared Shipley's in Manoa Marketplace for classic slack key with Mike Kaawa, Dennis Kamakahi and the gang, then straight down to Hot Lava for John Cruz.
Remember the night that Dennis Kamakahi sat in with John Cruz for a couple of hours, mostly playing a lot of oldies? Priceless!

John knew exactly what I meant.

And the rising superstar, Jake Shimabukuro, used to informally sit in there. Kory claims to have first introduced Jake to Lava, but later complained about him "showing off". Well, true, Jake does show-off, but with good reason. He's brilliant.

I'm currently watching cartoons with the girls, and I'm reminded that Swiper the Fox said it best:
