I grew up about a mile from there in that little neighborhood called Sparr Heights, on Las Palmas Avenue, a stone's throw from Fremont Elementary (if that means anything to you). I never knew why that area was called "Vali-Hi" - just past the main drag of Honolulu Avenue. Perhaps somebody's Polynesian vision was unrealized? My parents bought the house in 1959, I think. I don't ever remember there being anything the least bit tiki in the area! Mom sold the house about 8 years ago, dadgummit. I love that neighborhood. Very Beaver Cleaver.
