still relatively untouched yet accessible shoreline. This is what <br />should stay the same. This is what visitors come for. <br />• I like some of the ambiance of Old town Pahoa if it was fixed up <br />a bit. The preservation of old Pahoa town. <br />• Small unusual character. It is still a small town with obvious <br />history and culture. Love the boardwalks. <br />• Accessible & has everything you need with excellent aesthetic <br />value. <br />• It's got character! It's laid back, funky, relaxing yet has great <br />restaurants, entertainment opportunities, good stores that are not <br />chain. <br />• Quaintness — sidewalks. <br />• Has its own style, plenty restaurants, not a lot of chain stores. <br />• I love the color of the population, Pahoa has a diverse population <br />and that makes for a very interesting town and experience. I love <br />that there are many restaurants, and would like more shopping <br />experiences. I think of Honokaa as a good example of what I <br />would appreciate in shopping and cleanliness. Pahoa is a bit <br />shabby and would appreciate if it was easier to walk around with <br />safe places to walk with a stroller. Right now you have to go in <br />the street which is really not safe. I love that we have people <br />willing to open up new businesses in Pahoa. I love that we have a <br />community center that is kept up nicely and LOVE our pool. I <br />love that we have a library. <br />• Quaint local color community. <br />• Retaining the character (wooden sidewalks, old store fronts) is <br />vital. We don't want it razed like they did Keaau years ago to put <br />in the MacDonald's. <br />• I like that some of the old plantation buildings are still around. I <br />have been destined with some thought to maintaining a plantation <br />—type look. <br />• Environmental consciousness & artistic creatives. <br />• I appreciate the laid back jungle village feel. Pahoa is not the <br />flashiest place in Hawaii, but you can get the feeling of Ohana <br />watching out over you. Its wooden sidewalks, the Catholic <br />Church steeple when Mauna Kea is showing off. The number of <br />and variety of eating establishments. The strong presence of the <br />jungle surrounding us. <br />• Old buildings and storefronts. <br />6 <br />
