Thank you for keeping us updated. I subscribed because there is little to no information being shared on the "news" or social media about beautiful Lahaina. It's wonderful to see businesses opening up again!
Thank you Jesse I love to watch your videos it just breaks my heart to see Maui in this condition Maui is the most beautiful place in the world to me I wish I could come back one day
Please keep these videos coming! Thanks for the update and all the time and effort you put in. So glad to see local businesses open and people supporting the comeback. Cheers 🤙
Aloha Jesse! My wife and I just visited Maui last week and learned that the owner of Frida's passed away and Star Noodle is moving into Frida's old building. Also Old Lahina Luau is reopening March 12th
Thank you for this video! I had been looking for updates, and I hope that Lahaina residents will be able to rebuild their homes in the manner that they wish.
that shot of the West Maui mountains at 5:57 as you are filming Longs Drugs at the Cannery Mall--my favorite part of those mountains. I can remember when the Cannery Mall was a bit out of town, would usually stay in a condo in Honokowai, and come back after checking in to get some groceries at Safeway. Was in the hospital last week and one of the nurses had just gotten back from a week in Maui, she said she stayed in a condo just north of Lahaina, near town. Had a great time. Wasn't up in the resort area.
My wife and I just returned from a two week stay on Maui. We stayed at the Maui Kai. Had lunch at Mala four times, the food, vibes and service were amazing.
Jesse, thank you for the positivity and for walking on Front Street and showing us what is happening. It's so nice to see your filming, because you have a way of bringing out the beauty of Lahaina that is still there, despite the tragedy. It's great to know that there are places there, outside the burn zone, that still thrive and look beautiful. 🙂
Mahalo for the wonderful video! It's great that your video is so positive and shows what's open. I love that! IT's so good to see the familiar areas there. Keep sharing your positive videos, please!
Please keep updating us on any updates. Princess Cruise line is scheduled to visit in early October, so we're trying to find places to eat and visit and support the local community
My husband and I were blessed to spend a month in maui. It was truly humbling to see this we left 2 weeks ago. We frequented Mala and also other areas/ places. it's about supporting them and sharing the Aloha for they are Maui strong and Lahaina strong! God bless them all and we will return soon❤❤
Before it was a mall ..I used to take my laundry to the cannery. And pick it up later that day clean & folded in a box . The '70s were fabulous in Lahaina🎉
Great news! We have a group of 16 coming in August to Kaanapali. One of my favorite things do is going to Lahaina, so happy to see progress. Looks beautiful!
Thank you for continuing to provide us updates on the recovery of Lahaina. Hard to believe we were there last March and I am so happy that Mala Tavern and Lahaina Cannery Mall survived. We just ate twice at Mala last March and of course Safeway is the grocery store closest to where we stay. I know this is a long recovery process and I am looking forward to future updates as Maui recovers.
We were just there a few days ago and ate at that restaurant. It was excellent! We also took a whale watching tour from there. It was our first visit to Maui and we loved it. Although it was sad to see so much devastation it was obvious that the island and people are bouncing back.
Mahalo for sharing Maui optimism. Considering the misfortune occurred little over six months ago, great to see life slowly returning to parts of Front St.
I am so glad to see them open. We ate there last year before the fire. The restaurant was great and I was so sad for all of Lahaina but hoped they could reopen soon.
Mahalo for showing this Keep doing positive news.As a burned out of apartment in Lahaina neighbor,I've had to move to WAILUKU.After 40 years in Lahaina I SO miss it aloha
Thank you for showing us what’s up with the neighborhood around Mala/Safeway area. Is the water safe around that area? Is it being tested? I heard that Star Noodle is going into a building maybe the Freidas building? Also Aloha mixed plate I heard is making a come back!!!!!
Thank you for the positive video. I am surprised that the luau isn’t open. I imagine that it due in part for the respect of the people in Lahaina. The place next to it was called Lunch plate. We had lunch there before…good food. That’s the Safeway we soul always go to whenever we needed more food. We normally stay at the Aston Whaler and we get a room with a kitchen. Mahalo
@@virginiamadrid670 Aloha Mix Plate. A popular restaurant that was closed to make room for Star Noodle during the time of covid. The same company owns The Old Lahaina Luau, Star Noodle, Aloha Mix Plate, and Leoda's pie shop in Olowalu
I took a whale watching excursion (Makai Adventures) two weeks ago that boarded at Mala Ramp. It was just a few days after they got their new boat. The old one had been in Lahaina harbor. It was a great trip!
I'm done with Hawaiʻian Real Estate since Eric cares more about selling homes now than what's happening with Maui Officials and Lahaina Smart City. We all know this was a DEW, just like in Chile and now Texas. God help us all. Good quality video, nice narration. You have a new subscriber. Mahalo nui loa Jesse~ #SupportMaui #MālamaiaKanakaMaoliMana 💙🏝🌊🏄♀🤙
Boy, I can remember when the Cannery Mall/Safeway were out of town a bit from Lahaina, used to go to Safeway on my way to the condo I was staying at in Honokowai.
Thank you for this.We’ll be there in 2 weeks and want to be as respectful as possible. Could you tell me if snorkeling at Mala Wharf would be frowned upon?
Was Star Noodle damaged? We were there a month prior to the fire and it looked like that strip was not not destroyed but the restaurant, as many others we visited on Front street, have been closed ever since. I'm glad one restaurant has reopened.
We went to that Safeway in 2012, purchased blueberries and was shocked at the price. Looked at where they had been shipped from and again shocked they came from Watsonville Ca, we live in San Jose!
With businesses opening up, are they allowing some tourists to visit the area? We are visiting Maui in a couple of months and would love to visit local venders support them.
Does that Safeway sell decent seafood? We will be staying in a condo and cook our own meals. We hope to find some decent fresh seafood and produce. It that possible?
Spent our Honeymoon on Maui, Lahaina area. Can you tell me if the Honu Restaurant was once the Ocean House Restaurant back in 1979? Please let me know! Thanks!
@@JesseGWaldOh, thanks. I remember the cannery but I can't recall exactly where it was relative to longhi's and mala wharf. Must be the same spot. Looks like the architects went with the same style. Corrugated metal.
I love hearing the chickens and birds! Mahalo!
Come to the Philippines there's lot of chickens in the early mornings 4am ....
You don't need an alarm

It looks like a beautiful day, there. And the water is so blue. A lovely place.
Best wishes for success at Mala Tavern. Mahalo for sharing this great news..

Did you have reservations or just walk in? I am having trouble getting reservations!
Yuk...how could you ? Bizarre ppl would want to vacation there.
@@tishkerrville8942 About 99% of Maui is undamaged. One of the most beautiful places in the world. I'd go again if I wasn't so old.
@@michmvpdo u wanna give me 25k to go with friends to Hawaii😄
@@awwbubba3071 I was in my 60's before I could afford to go. So, save your money and one day you can go too.
Oh Jesse ~ this made my heart so happy. Thanks for the continued coverage. I know there's a long way to go, but it's good to see any progress.
Thank you for update. My wife and I love this place and we look forward to coming back next year
Your videos are such a blessing, Jesse. I feel like we are getting real news about what is going on in our beloved Lahaina. Mahalo for all you do.
Wonderful video. I continually send care for all impacted by the fires and I am hoping people can rebuild and that businesses can re-open. Peace.
5 of us from the mainland are coming to Kāʻanapali & Lahaina this weekend. And dining @ Mala!!! Looking forward to supporting the local economy.
How was it
@@awwbubba3071 Great!
Thank you so much for your videos and keeping us all posted on Lahaina‘s comeback!

mahalo for keeping us updated. so good to see signs of renewal
Coming to Kihei in 3 weeks time. Thansk for keeping us updated.
Old Lahaina Luau is opening in March….per their facebook page.
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Thanks for the video! You're completely right: we need to see the successes as well as the issues! (Could we see how the banyon tree is doing next?)
Greatly happy news, Jesse! Keep the Maui sunshine bright in our minds and in our hearts for all of our people around the world. Mahalo!
Thats a sign of hope oh wow Lahaina Cannery Mall survived the fire.

Thanks Jesse for the update!🎉🎉🎉
This is encouraging news for the whole community. Wishing everyone is back in their homes and at work.
Thanks for the update.
We ate at Mala just last week 4/22/24. Loved it and will be back on our next visit.
I am so glad to see them open. We ate there last year before the fire. The restaurant was great and I was so sad for all of Lahaina but hoped they could reopen soon.

Aloha from the mainland, thanks for the walkabout. Sights n sounds got me missing simple good things.
Congratulations this is welcomed news! Mahalo
This is truly an encouraging video Jesse! Aloha from Oahu!
Thank you for showing us what’s up with the neighborhood around Mala/Safeway area. Is the water safe around that area? Is it being tested?
I heard that Star Noodle is going into a building maybe the Freidas building? Also Aloha mixed plate I heard is making a come back!!!!!

Thanks for this. I, like many frequent visitors I'm sure, am still soul sick about the destruction of one of my favorite places on the planet.
Frieda's is going to be the location of Star Noodle. AMP is moving back into its original location. They announced that on FaceBook
I’m sorry but what is AMP?
@@virginiamadrid670 Aloha Mix Plate. A popular restaurant that was closed to make room for Star Noodle during the time of covid. The same company owns The Old Lahaina Luau, Star Noodle, Aloha Mix Plate, and Leoda's pie shop in Olowalu
Aloha Mixed Plate
Yes, we. Heard the same when we visited in January.
Itis nice to see that something is left there after the terrible fire. We've walked there many times in past years and hope to come back some day.
Thank you for the updates
Thanks for the update, great to see some progress in that beautiful city!
Thanks for the video. I'm not sure if it's accurate, but I heard that Star Noodle was taking over the former Frida's space.
I took a whale watching excursion (Makai Adventures) two weeks ago that boarded at Mala Ramp. It was just a few days after they got their new boat. The old one had been in Lahaina harbor. It was a great trip!
Positive vibe
Was just there 2 weeks ago. Wish I knew they were open, I would've loved to support them.

Thanks for sharing ❤️🇨🇦
It's so nice to see some semblance of life returning to Lahina Town.
Thank you, sir!

The spirits of Lahaina calling. Carry me back home.
Is the ABC Store next to Safeway open yet? Thank you, Jesse!
Can u focus on the 2000 missing children, give us an update??
Beautiful. Would love to visit some time.
I’m so happy I was able to visit lahaina 2 months before it burned up
thank you for info.
Good to see things......very slowly returning. Long process. OttawaMarc 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Mahalo for the postitive mana🙏
We went to that Safeway in 2012, purchased blueberries and was shocked at the price. Looked at where they had been shipped from and again shocked they came from Watsonville Ca, we live in San Jose!
With businesses opening up, are they allowing some tourists to visit the area? We are visiting Maui in a couple of months and would love to visit local venders support them.
Keep the good vibes …all healing to Maui
Does that Safeway sell decent seafood? We will be staying in a condo and cook our own meals. We hope to find some decent fresh seafood and produce. It that possible?
Spent our Honeymoon on Maui, Lahaina area. Can you tell me if the Honu Restaurant was once the Ocean House Restaurant back in 1979? Please let me know! Thanks!
love hearing the zebra doves, and chickens...love maui
In your videos I see Lahaina Shore with, apparently, no damage but no activity . Is it closed because it is in the burn zone or was it damaged?
Great video
I ate at Star noodles many times, the food was good and not expensive. The Safeway there has the oldest oven in all the Hawaiian Safeway stores.
Thank you. Mahalo
are those blue colored buildings
I forget, is the safeway where the cannery used to be?
Safeway is in the Cannery Mall.
@@JesseGWaldOh, thanks. I remember the cannery but I can't recall exactly where it was relative to longhi's and mala wharf. Must be the same spot. Looks like the architects went with the same style. Corrugated metal.
Just a simple question. Why is the clean up taking so long? It appears that only a few excavators and trucks are operating.
I hear the doves in background, best sound ever I miss it.
I was there on Saturday 2/17. Great view, good food!! Please go support them.
Congratulations, we miss you.
What’s the bird singing (not the rooster)?
Why didn't you go inside Mala and see how they were doing?
Baby steps to bringing Lahaina back to life. #MauiStrong
From what I read Star Noodle will now be The Aloha Mixed Plate and Fredias will now be Star Noodle.
Aloha mixed plate is coming back and star noodle is moving into Frieda’s spot.
Mahalo!
It’s a great little place to eat
Are people still camping onKaanapali beach
Yes
