Also i found this news clip that had some opinions. Do you agree or what is your opinion?
One opinion was that if you keep changing Hawaii it will eventually be no different from the mainland.
If the person said Waikiki, then maybe. However as you know Hawaiian By Heart, the majority of what Hawaii is has nothing to do with Saks Fifth Avenue or the old International Market Place. It is more about the mountains, the ocean, the jungles, the dry canyons, the beaches, the volcanoes, the food, the people, etc... So cleaning up and modernizing what was the International Market Place isn't going to change much else.
But that's just my opinion.

Oh i agree and you know i think people on here believe i and others who think like me are saying no to modern changes period. No that isn't the case. Even when i lived in hawaii we had some modern mainland stuff, but back then there was a balance. Today no, modernisation has become a juggernout. I loved IMP not for the shopping or shops but how i felt experiencing it. Most locals its the feelings we experience from places.

I think that is not for just locals in Hawaii but people everywhere. I also think that as people we like to romanticize our memories and when we try to revisit them today, they usually can't hold up.
For example, when I was a kid I loved going to Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour and later Chuck E Cheese. Now when I go to either, usually because of a child's birthday party, it just isn't the same. Huge let down for me. However, if I forget about the experiences I had as a child and stop comparing it to the experience I am currently having, then I can look around and see that the children of today are having a blast and making memories of their own.
Oh you rememba Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour huh? Hawaii or no? Well brah hate to break this to you. But your dissatisfaction of both isn't because your older but because the current owners of Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour don't put the same love and care and customer service as when they were huge in da 70s, your not the only one to
complain.
But i get what your saying. I enjoy modern things like internet and dignal cable and smartphones. But i will have to say that today i haven't found an experience with modern movie theaters that gives me the feeling i had when experienceing the drivein movie or the ethnic or old theaters in Hawaii. It isn't living in the past so much as its a totally different experience.

At the original in Portland, Oregon of course!
I am curious Hawaiian By Heart, since Farrell's Ice Cream Parlours were a mainland company that started in Portland, Oregon in 1963 and was sold in 1971 to the Marriott Corporation, did you protest them coming and changing Hawaii to look more like the mainland?
