International Market Place… that’s what it’s called. Not the same in the least. Maybe if Hawaii went back to it’s old ways, the people that lived it then would still be the same ones visiting and respecting it now. I’ve noticed a whole different type of people and visitor there now. They’re rude, arrogant and pushy. My mom lived on the Big Island for 15 years. She was even a bit disappointed the last time she visited. Things change, but to lose the authenticity that is original to Hawaii, isn’t ideal. Same as closing up original awesome places like that of Coco Palms. I would give anything within reason, to go to a place like that and experience the real Hawaii.
Hawaii is not the same Hawaii as it was in the 70’s,80’s and even the 90’s. It is now catering to the rich with all the ridiculous high end stores instead of the authentic to Hawaii only shops. Rich stores means rich purple, which many of the long standing visitors are not. The Kings Village shops and their performances of the changing of the guards were so amazing and fun to watch. Then they ruined so much of the shopping there. They took the Dukes lane out and changed the other one (can’t recall name) and made it all high end, also. If all you want is rich people there, then that’s fine. We’ll find somewhere else to go. The main reason I go there is to visit my mom n step dad at their graveside, but we always made a trip out of it.
