Haleiwa Town...

well the biggest change in Haleiwa is

about to open.

There's still caution tape and barriers around it, but I noticed

that some of the shops were getting ready to open.

We didn't like the idea of the whole thing...too many people,

take away the look of Haleiwa, nothing for local people...

Have to admit, they did something very right...

the look of these brand new buildings seem to capture the

charm of Haleiwa.

Love the different colors and look of each individual shop even though

they are connected.

so glad they left the huge tree.  They're adding lots of additional plants and trees...

those coconut palms weren't there before.

there's now a sidewalk right along Kam Hiway...

maybe this will keep people from walking into the street.

There are going to be some new restaurants that should be

fun.  A few more choice of places to eat is always good.

As time goes on and the wind blows the red dirt onto the paint

and stains it, these places with start to look like the real Haleiwa.
