There is Honolulu ave., Luana St., Pali St. as well as the old Vali Hai area (sign has now been gone for awhile) I also recall hearing that a Tiki Bar was once where the Teri-Yaki place now is. I do see a scenic similarity (Oahu) while looking at the green mountains while driving west on Foothill or Honolulu, but who started this? Does anyone else know of any other Hawaiian influence in this area and where they came from? TT

Aloha TCers,
