Thanks for watching and supporting our community!
Aloha and Mahalo!
Great video update, Mahalo! Thanks for the shout out you guys! We have tons of free parking at Not Too Shabby Hawaii! 😂 Come on up across from Seaview Circle!
Love your videos with both of you. I’ve learned so much about Kona and have watched every single one, some of them I’ve watched several times. Thank you. I just started my RUclips vlog in Pahoa last year. I love both sides of the island. Keep making those videos. 😁
Another great update! Thank you so much.❤
We really appreciate all you and Eric do in support of our community!🥰
Thank you very much Larry! 😘
Love your updates it’s good to hear about new businesses 😊😊
Thanks for always giving us some extra thumbs up! 🥰
Great video guys!
Thank you!😃
Great update! ❤❤
Great update, I am glad to see new businesses opening up, especially quality restaurants.
In the past week, it was announced that the Outrigger Kona Resort & Spa will be host to the first Duke's location on the Big Island.
A beautiful 15,000 sq ft oceanfront location, opening up in late 2025.
I was going to say that!!! Yes..looking forward to it!
Thank you so much Eric and Julie, I will be sure to stop by the Burger joints, Not too shabby and Olivia's closet when I visit in November. Best wishes, Tania in Australia
Awesome!!
Hey thanks so much, it will be great to see you in November at Not Too Shabby. Let us know who you are when you come in! 😊
We were in Kona 6/11-6/18 and tried Ono Loa Grill’s cheeseburger based on your recommendation from one of your previous videos. The cheeseburgers were delicious!
That is awesome to hear!! They do a REALLY great job with seasoning! 🤙
I learned about the Ona Loa Grill from Julie. Best burger in Kona.
Thanks ..hope you let Chris know you found out about it from 365!
Always. Smash Daddy is on our list to visit in September
You two!!! Thank you for sharing all of this information. There is always a blame game somewhere. Glad they have made a different choice for locals. We always try support local, but parking was such a turn off. Aloha
❤your video updates.😊😊
Thank you!!
Thanks for the update 😊
Super cute dress! Thanks for the update. I'm sure missing BI
Thank you!!
Right in my backyard! It’s great but wish my backyard was on the Big Island 😃
About Kona parking ... really disgusting how it's all paid parking now ... the city does not care if local businesses aren't supported ... more and more local businesses going out of business ... or moving to some other community where parking is free.
I have made my thoughts known to both the Mayor and the Council woman.
It wouldn't be so bad if there was a really reliable shuttle. I don't mind paying for parking while I travel. It's just part of the experience. We usually stay where we can cook our own meals. So we usually go for dinner where there is plenty of parking anyways. Thanks for the vid. Will be back in November.
I just got home from Kona. I agree the parking situation is ridiculous. $15 an hr ! We paid for 3 hrs, found out we could get 1 1/2 hrs validated by a local business but we already paid.. Hawaii is already expensive to visit.. we have to pay to shop and spend more money
Watching your video now and laughing about the parking part! Your description of all the different places and policies shows exactly why I don’t use downtown parking very often anymore. I used to like to just go down that way and wander around. But now it’s such a process, trying to figure out the best way to do that, and having to stop at a particular place to get validation, maybe for only a couple of hours and then I have to do it again… it’s taken all the fun out of it. So I only go downtown if I have a specific need to be there. I get why they’re having to do parking this way, but I find that I just don’t bother with it anymore.
You need to do a uber, Lyft and Holoho episode. The parking in Kona is going to close the town. We went to dinner and got validation. A big dude still put a ticket on our car with a $120 fine. We negotiated it to $20 cash and he left (with the ticket) we live in palasaides but will not go back until the county council figures this out.
Sadly, the County council does not see it as their purview to intervene since they view it as a private property issue. Not sure how this is going to go down, but someone should do something before we have a ghost town.
Park by the Dolphin Spit bar and walk. Then look for the place that has the 'street corn unicorn '.
I’ve been visiting the big island since 1999 and my first thought was, “there’s a Macy’s in Kona?” I had no idea. Where is it?
Since our timeshare is up in Waikoloa, I always enjoy taking a day to walk around Alii drive, stopping in shops and restaurants along the way. Definitely not something I can do in 2 hours. Looks like I’m going to have to look into the trolley next time I visit.
That Macy's is up above Queen K at the Makalapua Shopping Center
Hey Eric, what sort of de-aging filter were you using on Julie in the Temple Bar segment? Her eye looks wonky! Love yous!
TELL ME @Loubert1000!! Eric's camera went out of focus when he was filming the drink and it didnt correct when it came to my face! Then instead of just not using the footage, he decided to try and fix it..like a crazy plastic surgeon, lol! I would have just cut it out, but did not want to lose telling folks about Temple Bar.
Great update! How does validation work - isn't that lot pay-in-advance?
We visit Ona Loa Grill every trip!
THinking they have a computer that is attached to ParkLinq that lets them cut the parking lot.
We used to own in Kona Paradise and later Pualuni Estates! What went in where Splashers used to be?
The Big Kahuna Grill
the parking problem in Lahaina Maui was solved ... they just burned down the whole town ! So sad to hear Kona has been turned into the assphalt jungle
I don't know who all these people are that need more than 90 minutes at a restaurant, but ParkLinq is super easy assuming you have a Hawaii Drivers License. I park easy and free anytime I'm downtown for a meal!
Depending on the wait to be seated it can easily take 90 minutes. Also, when we’ve visited Coconut Grove over the years we go to the other stores in the complex and also get some gelato. Maybe if they lower the hourly rates they might actually fill up the lot.
You almost wacked that kid in the face…lol!
I KNOW! SOOO close..that's what I get from using my big expressive gestures!
Businesses and people are just not wanted at all...let's get real. The slow attrition of businesses and the resultant reduction of tourists and people in general are the end goals. Look at the big picture folks.
Talk slower u sound like arguing chickens
