I had no idea that Farrell's opened up a place in Hawaii. Pretty cool! Their first restaurant was in Portland, Oregon and opened in 1963. Do they still serve the Pig's Trough?

Yes they still serve it as far as i know, further they were in Oahu at the international maket place, ala moana shopping center and a few other locations then they went out of business and closed,and now recently they reopened again in Hawai'i.
I think there menu is online.
Also the portland one i believe was by loyd center?
I think its about time to confess something, I talk about Hawai'i past alot in my threads, there is a reason for that? Its not so we all can go live in the past, because the objects we had in the past wasn't important as much as the emotional experience we attached to the objects. Its is said by alot of people that my generation was the last generation to really experience old local culture of Hawai'i. With the closing of the drivein theaters, ethnic movie houses and products that my parents and grandparents generation enjoyed. Thou the drive-in theaters, Movie houses that showed kungfu or samuri movies or even products like yik lung crack seed ideals were not 100% unique in the world. There was the drive-in theater and drive-in restaurant and crack seed products in other states and other parts of the world.
What was unique was the emotional experience and emotional attachment the old local culture had on my and older generations. Something like the emotional experience of love, cont next post.
Much like the love and pride of locals for the areas there from.
Its not my intention to say haha my generation is better then the new, no this generation has some awsome things, me and my keiki to this day enjoy playing the playstation 3 we got. Light years ahead of the atari pong system i had as a child. This generation is the generation of advances and luxuries that were not seen in older generations. But i think most people agree that the experience of corporate movie houses and fastfood restaurants that has replaced all the old local culture places just doesn't provide the same emotional experience. How many petitions to restore act 3 theaters if they went out of business would we see, vs the great effects to restore the Hawai'i and Queen movie houses of old. Thats the setback of this younger generation.
This is why i talk about our hanabata times, to remind people of the emotional experience and attachment to the old culture places. Cont next post
There is no setback for the younger generation - they don't even have a concept of the things you believe is a setback. Quite frankly - kids today can't even remotely relate to the seemingly hundreds of youtube videos in this forum - they live in the present. I have no concept of the 1950's and 1960's - and if I come across a Leave it to Beaver or Back to the Future episode, I don't think I'm missing much.
So we can ask ourselves which direction we want to go in Hawai'i. I think the biggest nightmare would be if we wokeup and realised that everyplace looked the same. It would be a sad world. The future of Hawai'i is uncertain. But what would drive me back would be the ability to form emotional attachments from experiences of Hawai'i in this modern age.

Ok viper u didn't let me finish. I disagree with what your saying, my keiki used to love skateboarding that really is big in this generation. She used to skate at the local skate park. To her this place is like my Liberty theater(chinese kungfu theater of the past in honolulu) To her this place had the same emotional attachment, it was her and alot of kids her ages 'local culture" Anyway it got torn down a few years ago. So i think yes this generation can relate. So is this the cost of progress? Whats progress? Profit? Whats your emotional attachment in Hawai'i viper?
Sigh - all you keep doing is trying to impose your belief system on Hawaii of glory days are so much better. Sometimes you need to just let things go and live in the present - you'd likely be happier. Obviously, progress and the present has won over this emotional attachment of the past - if the past was so great - nothing would have changed. The world is meant to evolve and the present is how it has evolved.
I also think the responsibility is on the older generation to share the things of old so that our children can judge for themselves. The only reason my daughter took up skateboarding was because its the in thing on the mainland. In my generation in Hawai'i it was surfing, so what would u think my daughter would enjoy more skateboarding or surfing, surfing has bigger rush, so next time i go home i will take her and teach her. Further, my daughter loves the drivein theater(we have one left in oregon) She would rather goto the drivein most of the time then the big movie house. She loves rap and hip hop. But she also thinks led zepplin kicks butt and old def lepard. The point being Viper, we are not giving this current generation the opertunity to experience the old because we have pretty much have eliminated it because its not profitable. That what has happened in oahu.
