I gotta tell you this news really bums me out ! I know putting the message out that things aren’t looking good for Kona were meant for those able to attend to really appreciate and soak it in. But im not able to attend and that makes the sting hurt that much more. I was there for the blessing of the Hidden Village and felt like that was the beginning of a beautiful thing. This place has withstood the test of time and is truly a historical landmark without question. But im going to remain optimistic and know this will be a collective thought among anybody who has ever visited Sams or Kona. Because now more then ever in these times we need a place like this that allows you at the doorway to shed the reality of the world, and enter an aloha state of mind. How many soulless Joe Crab shack type establishments can we endure and be dictated to that this is progress and the future? This place has walls that could tell many stories, hopefully one day they will tell yours!
