This was so awesome I had to share. My biggest surprise in the first 3 minutes was seeing BK in the same spot😲 Mahalo for the recommembrance ( for those of you who don't know, it's a real word. In Hawaii at least😂)
I have good memories growing up in Makiki, I remember the grocery stores, churches and all the intersections. Loved seeing the VW bugs and stations wagons 😊 And the yellow Bus!! 🚌
Growing up as keiki in early 80s, I remember alot of these buildings! This video has totally sparked deep hidden memories that I didn't know existed! Thank you so much for sharing these!! ❤️ Old Honolulu, a special place and time. My how times have changed!
Nostalgic...thanks. Chunky's Drive -In on S. King st and Isenberg across from the park near McCully Public Library that used be a baseball stadium in the seventies , went there for the chili plate.
Unbelievable how many forgotten buildings I saw in this video. Countless now-vanished gas stations, bus stops with no shelters / roofs, a handful of phone booths, newspaper vending boxes. The posted gasoline prices ranging from 20c to 40c were per LITER, not gallon, since gas was sold that way in Hawaii from 1979 to about 1986. No homeless people visible in this video although they did exist then, but they either got arrested and put in jail for loitering or drunkenness, or were put in mental hospitals.
My manager loves to talk about the 80s and I love to ask more questions because I'm very interested with life back then (even if it was mundane) and tbh I do get jealous I wasn't born early but oh well, thts why these videos exist haha Much love from Oahu

I was hoping for a video also out there on the ala wai Avenue from Kapahulu Avenue down the ala wai Avenue to McCully Street. Or in reverse because it used to be a two-way street before they turned it into a one way Street anyway thank you so much for this valuable video
Honolulu use to be a good place to live the 60's , 70's, and 80's. Now it's sky high rents and everything is expensive. You have to pay the price to live in Paradise.

Grew up in the 2000s, seeing this kinda makes me wish I was around in the 80s and 90s. I've only watched the first 5 minutes and already said to myself, "No way, there was a gas station over there?" Talking about at the corner of Beretania and Isenberg (just before the 5 min mark.) I remember back then it was always a fenced up lot, but I know there's something there now.
Great footage. Nice that someone thought about filming this back when most people didn't record video on a regular basis. Though many places are gone and new buildings have since been built, it's pretty interesting how much of it is the same as it is today.

Thank you so much for this video. It brings back memories of a different, simpler time. I remember after you passed the Humane society, there is Kuhio Elementary School opposite, then the next block there was House of park Cafe a Korean restaurant, then Taniguchi Market. On the opposite side there was Sushi King after Fukuya, then Kuhio Grill, then an Indian restaurant next to the flower shop. On the next corner was Fast Stop Mart at the intersection of King St & University.
@1:32:20 Is that Kokua Market. Its crazy looking at this video and knowing Kokua has been around for that long only to hear they closed down a few days ago.
When I grew up in Moiliili it was the Moiliili Store. It later became the Kokua Market. Although they are closing that location, they are supposed to reopen in Palolo....on Palolo Avenue.
Mahalo for posting! Recorded on an early video cam, the size of a shoebox? I found slightly better playback with 1080/720 resolution if loading speeds allow, and at 2x speed. Anna Banana's @3:35. Lots of '60s/'70s cars and a few from the '50s - check out that primo land barge @1:24:33. Looked for my car but, darnit, must be a workday. Where did 40 years go?
@@jk1492 Originally it was the Palace Theater but in about 1965 it became the Nippon Theater; I went to the last two English-language movies there before it switched ("Hercules In The Haunted World" and "Castle of Blood".) It then became the Asia Cinema 1 & 2 and then went back to American movies in the 1980s and was called just Cinema 1 & 2. Then it was demolished.
I thought it was Cinerama twin? It was were I saw Star Wars and Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom among others. Also, many of the cinemas in Waiks as well as one in D-town, C-town, and Varsity are loooooong gone.
I can think of six gas stations in the Moiliili-McCully area that were around then that are gone now. Plus a repair shop that no longer sells gas. I think there's only three still around in the same area. along with a 7-Eleven with gas pumps that wasn't around back then.

Nostalgic...thanks. Chunky's Drive -In on S. King st and Isenberg across from the park near McCully Public Library that used be a baseball stadium in the seventies , went there for the chili plate.
I can't believe how many of the buildings look the same and how much less homeless there are.
Many buildings do look the same, but many are gone. Thank you for posting this video.
Unbelievable how many forgotten buildings I saw in this video. Countless now-vanished gas stations, bus stops with no shelters / roofs, a handful of phone booths, newspaper vending boxes. The posted gasoline prices ranging from 20c to 40c were per LITER, not gallon, since gas was sold that way in Hawaii from 1979 to about 1986. No homeless people visible in this video although they did exist then, but they either got arrested and put in jail for loitering or drunkenness, or were put in mental hospitals.
Homeless were by point panic and aala park
@@mr808steelersyup cuz diamond head tennis courts members complained through the roof and push any homeless outside Waikiki
Wow ! What an Amazing (but) Long Video. There are so much Memories..
My manager loves to talk about the 80s and I love to ask more questions because I'm very interested with life back then (even if it was mundane) and tbh I do get jealous I wasn't born early but oh well, thts why these videos exist haha

I remember after you passed the Humane society, there is Kuhio Elementary School opposite, then the next block there was House of park Cafe a Korean restaurant, then Taniguchi Market. On the opposite side there was Sushi King after Fukuya, then Kuhio Grill, then an Indian restaurant next to the flower shop. On the next corner was Fast Stop Mart at the intersection of King St & University.
I Love my home 🏡,
@1:32:20 Is that Kokua Market. Its crazy looking at this video and knowing Kokua has been around for that long only to hear they closed down a few days ago.
When I grew up in Moiliili it was the Moiliili Store. It later became the Kokua Market. Although they are closing that location, they are supposed to reopen in Palolo....on Palolo Avenue.
Unfortunately, Kokua Market closed permanently.
Mahalo for posting! Recorded on an early video cam, the size of a shoebox? I found slightly better playback with 1080/720 resolution if loading speeds allow, and at 2x speed. Anna Banana's @3:35. Lots of '60s/'70s cars and a few from the '50s - check out that primo land barge @1:24:33. Looked for my car but, darnit, must be a workday. Where did 40 years go?
Wow, must have been nice back then. No homeless, probably just weed. No traffic.
Yes.
Correct.
It was Heaven. Sadly lost
crazy to think what kind of equipment was needed to film this. never have smart phones to shoot something like this.
Forget about the yellow trash cans painted like The Bus.
Cool video (watch @ 2x speed)
🌴😎🌈Aloha 🤙🏼

Did anyone catch the sign’s words at 7:05? “Come in check out ___ _________”
I use to go to the movie theater on the corner of Beretania n Keeaumoku when I was a kid in the '70s. I can't remember the name though.
That would have been the Palace Theater.
@@jk1492 Originally it was the Palace Theater but in about 1965 it became the Nippon Theater; I went to the last two English-language movies there before it switched ("Hercules In The Haunted World" and "Castle of Blood".) It then became the Asia Cinema 1 & 2 and then went back to American movies in the 1980s and was called just Cinema 1 & 2. Then it was demolished.
I thought it was Cinerama twin?
It was were I saw Star Wars and Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom among others.
Also, many of the cinemas in Waiks as well as one in D-town, C-town, and Varsity are loooooong gone.
@lushkitty734 You're in the ballpark. Cinerama was on S. King St. between Kalakaua and Punahou. I too saw Star Wars there.
The Cinerama was on King- took our young son there to see Star Wars. Line was around corner into pkg. lot. Actor Brian Keith was in line.
Police incident in front of the public library at 1:24:40. Some things haven't changed.🤣
good memories - McKinley HS at 1:12:36
I can think of six gas stations in the Moiliili-McCully area that were around then that are gone now. Plus a repair shop that no longer sells gas. I think there's only three still around in the same area. along with a 7-Eleven with gas pumps that wasn't around back then.
Oh...The memories!
anyone noticed the homeless population?
THERE WERE NONE!
Is there anyway you could burn this onto a dvd? This is a treasure to me I’ll pay you for it

Great soundtrack, Where is it from?

Did you take this video?
Yup. I wish I took more. Back then, consumer video cameras didn't have good resolution.
@@jk1492 that’s amazing that you took all that video with what was available
@@jk1492How old were you? What made you decide to shoot the video?
No crackheads back then
This is right before the crystal meth pandemic hit our islands and caused a chain reaction of homeless and unstable people on our aina 😢
Tamashiro still the same ❤
