Changing places
With the start of training camp 12 days away, the Warriors are awaiting for three players to complete their transfers to Manoa.
Cornerbacks Ronald Fields and Justin Turner are finishing work on their associate degrees. If one or both join the Warriors, then John Hardy-Tuliau, who finished spring drills as a No. 1 cornerback, likely would move back to safety, where he started 13 games last year.
Tight end Ryan Hall, who played at Duke the past three years, is awaiting official acceptance into UH’s graduate school. Craig Cofer and Darius Bright are considered the Warriors’ top tight ends in a soon-to-be-released depth chart.
* * * * *
Fullback Jared Leaf has conquered a stomach problem that caused him to lose more than 25 pounds during the spring. He has regained the weight and appears to be healthy.
Justin Vele, who was recruited as a linebacker, exited spring as the No. 1 fullback after playing the position for a week. Ethan Watanabe, a tight end in high school, also will compete at fullback.
But Joey Iosefa and speedy Will Gregory are considered to be the Warriors top backs, and there are plans to play both in a so-called pony formation.

Congratulations to Dave and Mary Shoji on their 26th wedding anniversary.
The couple will be going to London next week to watch the U.S. volleyball teams at the Olympics.

Happy birthday to the Pink Side’s Mama Mia.
Thanks for the update.
I like that Pony Offense look
So, what does a pony formation look like?
Can google it or what? Lol.
Like Vele, Leaf could also be a bruising LB
Good morning Tsaikos!
2nd??
Hope the 3 players will be available on Aug 1st.
Condolences and healing thoughts to those affected by the senseless massacre in Colorado.
Gigi??? this is a family friendly blog
Good Morning Gangeez!
Top Ten I reckon. Can’t wait til camp! Thanks for the up-to-the-minutes, Mr. Tsai.
That Colorado thing – God have mercy on us all. Prayers for the victims and their families.
top ten, ding!
Re: Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck (from yesterday’s blog):
Hubby’s co-worker told him there is a restroom on the premises. Not pretty, but clean.
So, looks like we will be driving to Kahuku on Sunday, after all. Won’t need that portable toilet SteveM mentioned.
I was going to mention the Pony Express, but we all know where that landed SMU at.
9 – carrying over from last blog – there is one in the house (?) makai of the seating area; ask for directions when you place your order.
“With the start of training camp 12 days away, the Warriors are awaiting for three players to complete their transfers to Manoa.”
I guess this is confirmation that Demar Dorsey will not qualify… That’s a shame…
good one gg…you were joking about the wanting to see what the pony formation is about right?
Greenthumb: OK, thanks for the info! Appreciate it.
Just quick reminder about a NY CC…
Where? Carmine’s in the theater district
When? Saturday July 28 at 5:30 pm
RSVP at warriorny@gmail.com
Let’s get an NYC Tsaiko’s chapter going. If you all want some good Italian food served family style, come out to the NY Cattle Call.
Al: woosh! huh?
WarriorNY:
Yes, Demar Dorsey will not be playing for the Warriors this year.
This doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t be enrolling at UH. It just means he won’t be playing in 2012.
Bend you back, and your knees, stretch out your hands like a racing jockey…
ST,
Thanks for the confirmation…
They also are in the mix for another player, but it’s a tricky situation and the chances are dimming that it will become a reality. I’ll explain once camp starts.
Gigi:
We have an identity-theft problem. There was somebody who called himself “Al” only this guy looked like he was 17 pounds lighter than our Al.
Hoaikane Jockey Move

ST: hmmm. don’t know what to say about that. There used to be 2 Protectors, too, some time ago.
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
Thanks GIGI – but it is the modem problem, not the router. Disconnect the router, direct line to router – and no luck there so it is the modem.
When I was using the laptop (and opposed to the desktops) in our bedroom, I discovered I was getting some new material. Tracked it down and found that I was connected to a router from the apartment next door! The signal is strong in our bedroom but not accessible in our computer room.
🙄
Mahalo for the 411, Stephen.
43 days….
I once lead a donkey formation
Tom: When I kept losing the internet connection periodically, Oceanic replaced my modem and checked the lines outside the house. They said they did all they could do for me.
Since the problem was not resolved, hubby bought a new router, and, voila, no more internet problems!!!
Team is shaping up. Soon, it will be soon.
I was the pony in the formation.
And this is what every Honolulu high school marching band played:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUHMrGx_jG0
Seems like tom mui connected the cable modem directly to his laptop and still no service. Therefore, modem problem. Since he mentioned previously he was able to connect to wifi outside his premises, it assumes there is no problem with his wifi connection in his laptop.
Best to recheck, unplug modem and router, wait, re-plug modem and router, check status, if no work try direct connection again with just modem, if no work then most likely modem problem.
Good morning everyone!
Congrats to Dave Shoji!
Happy Birthday to “Mama Mia”!!!
ST what position does this mystery player play?
!hhhssssoooooohhhhhwww
wwwhhhhooooosssshhhhh!!!!!
aiyah.
Football,soccer and volleyball teams combined for a 6 am workout at the beach this morning,how do they get them all down there ?
i wish i could develop a temporary stomach problem, losing 25lbs would be nice.
#31 Jimmythelock:
– tried that several times and went to Sears/Oceanic and swapped modem.
No luck and so I have to wait till Monday when Oceanic will come by from 8:00 to 4:00.
While I understand logistics and times for repairs, it would be nice if Oceanic might say from 8:00 to 12:00 or 12:00 to 4:00!!!
hopefully double d can at least get here for spring semester.
ball’s in his court as in ball point pen.
(do they still use those?)
Seems like the mystery player is a no-go if chances are not looking so good…gotta work with we got for now..which isn’t so bad
tommui…this is where you must use some craftiness. tell oceanic that you are handicapped and won’t be available in the a.m. and not until your “caregiver” is at your home. so it is why you are requesting a 12-4pm service call. just make sure that the boss is home that time when they do come maybe she could be cooking a meal for you just for show (wink, wink).
mattyboy…in which case he will forever be a mystery.
Was Clark Evans that bad in the spring? Isn’t even top 3 on the death chart
Why a mystery?? What’s the reason for this to be a mystery??
To me…if we get him…awesome!! If not..oh well move on then…why is it such a big deal?
Hau’oli la hanau to the ICON Coach Shoji!
Gotta hand it to those long time UH coaches. They’ve seen a lot, heard a lot, and unfortunately in all that time seen how people can come and go, but some things remain the same.
Ok #45… that was stupid. 😳 😳 😳
I mean congrats for his wedding anniversary.
Lots of birthdays over the last two months to remember….
Its the thought Kevin. Good of you.
#34 al~ that’s what I thought…….wwwwhhhhooooosssshhhh! right over the head.
Happy 26th to the Shojis.
@42,
I was thinking the same thing about Evans… Maybe Bright and Cofer impressed a lot in Spring rather than Evans performing badly. I hope Bright doesn’t have any more drops this season; I really think he could be a real weapon as TE…
I remember I lost power on the router and modem. When I restablished power, I didn’t get any wireless connection. Disconnected everything and waited 5 minutes or so then reconnected and still no wireless. Did a hard-wire connection from my router and it was functioning properly, so I figured my modem was fine. Figured it must be my router unable to transmit. Well, after disconnecting and connecting several times I gave up. Left it disconnected for about an hour or two then decided to give it another try. Low and behold it began working. So, not sure if leaving it disconnected for an extended period of time fixed it, but will try that if I have any future problems.
a little birdie mentioned that darius just might be the bright spot as long as he can stay injury free and stay away from barefooted kickball games.
pj2…haha. you get it too. too bad you couldn’t make the lunch yesterday. quite a turnout and you know the bp showed up.
That Pony formation reminds me of when Neuheisel and Chow went to Reno to visit Ault to get some insights of the Pistol formation. Chow said to Neuheisel, “What are we doing here again? We already run some form of the Pistol.” When I read that I thought it was kind of funny. Methinks, Chow is not a casino gambler like Rick is.
Just read the hard copy of today’s Star-Advertiser and noted the article on UH now encouraging students to take 15 credits per semester instead of just 12. The reasoning is that the longer someone is in school, the less likely to graduate.
Beyond the obvious DUH… I recall my freshman year at UH when I purposely took 12 credits both semesters for fear of failing grades from overload (I was not there on a academic scholarship 🙂 ). The freshman drop-out rate was very high at the time– 40%? Change of school life style, social distractions and all that. I survived the first two semesters with a 2.4 GPA…down from the 3.7 in high school.
I wonder if the UH peeps factored in freshman drop out rates… or just assumed it?
There’s a chat with Aaron Brown on the UH Facebook page going on right now.
http://www.facebook.com/HawaiiAthletics
#42 Graham,
Maybe he should move back to QB to compete.
mid morning 808
howzit shaking yu’all?
did demar dorsey not complete his degree or is he done and eligibilty will be next year , where are the updates on him… He seems like the best transfer out of the bunch.. and would give Hawaii headlines and PR when he enrolls
@57,
Its funny that Evans was ranked as QB out of high school about the same as FSU’s Carr (who is supposed to be an all conference player this year) Crazy how things work out sometimes… Shroeder was ranked above them both…
One thing besides the death chart that has me wondering how many passes Clark Evans is going to catch for us is the fact that is wearing number 94. For some reason TE #94 doesnt seem like an all american to me
#62
i guess that says it all…doh!
SteveM – for me as a science major, I took 19-20 credits a semester my first 2 years
SteveM – for me as a science major, I took 19-20 credits a semester my first 2 years
jm2375 — for me as a pre-education MATH major, I took 12. Ahhh, notice I’m not a math teacher… 😆
…and you smartah than me…must be a lab thing. 😆
But I enjoyed my freshman year… 🙄
Big Congratulations to Dave and Mary Shoji on their 26th wedding anniversary!
Happy Day to all! 105 degrees at DFW airport…
Go Warriors!
Happy Anny to the Shojis!
Happy Birthday, Mama Mia!
Happy Aloha Friday to all!
Stay cool, Midnight!!!
Howzit, everyone!
Gratz to da Shoji’s!!!
Happy birthday to Mama Mia!
And the interesting news keeps coming! Mahalo for the updates, ST!
Now for some back-to-school-supplies shopping…
WW:
Now’s the time to go shopping for office supplies, too.
I think binders are about $1.80; during the year, they’re usually about $8 or $9 a pop.
Download your USC media guide here:
http://www.usctrojans.com/blog/2012/07/2012-football-media-guide.html
SteveM – biology, physics & math classes were 4 credits, chemistry w/lab were 5 credits. Add in the other required classes, gets you to 19 credits. Biology majors graduated with way over the required # of credits.
Best wishes to transfers! Congratulations to Dave and Mary Shoji on their 26th! Happy Birthday to Pink Side’s Mama Mia!
Just saw SC’s media guide. Excellent work!
But, kinda poho all that time, energy and effort was invested into this beautiful project only to have their team lose their first game of the season.
Shucks!
Oh well…
“Don’t just think about it! BE about it!!” ~Herman Edwards
Just saw the story about Tumua Anae, the backup goalie in the US Women’s water polo team. She is a relative of my surgeon, Dr Alan Anae, at Straub Clinic. The Anaes are famous in sports. Dr. Anae was a tight end at BYU when Chow was a coach.
Good luck to Tumua! Hope the USA brings home the gold!!!
Anybody else feeling the heat and humidity? Glad I have a/c. But, what a pretty summer day!
LIKE!! 😆
Can us poor folks come over and enjoy your a/c with you?
Is today wash day?
Gee, I have never had an expensive dinner either.
I can’t even get one job doing menial customer service either.
SteveM: my older daughter was a math major, history minor, at UH and graduated in 4 years. She is now a high school math teacher and dept chairman.
I, too, graduated in 4 years, but my major was easy – sociology. I had a 4 year State scholarship.
Hubby, on the other hand, graduated in 5 years because he kept flunking one course, a requirement for graduating in music ed: aural training, worth 1 credit.
Yup, that 1 credit class kept him from graduating on time.
jmxxxx…bet you never had time to go anna bananas.
#71 / 72 supplies
Fisher Hawaii – shop local
aural training, 1 credit course: music dictation and sight singing.
Tough, tough, tough! Especially music dictation!!!
Do you notice whenever you go to a social function there is always someone who enjoys talking about themselves? Well a study was done and sure enough it was found that self-disclosure is rewarding. They say its all brain chemistry.
Either we deal with it, walk away, or change the subject and talk about yourself. lol
al-san – didn’t go UH or did you forget. But yeah, didn’t have much time to go partying. I remember spending a Halloween studying for a chem mid-term the next day.
Fisher Hawaii is a good store for office supplies and furniture.
I’m sure Fisher isn’t too good of a store for clothing and appliances. And grocery shopping, forget about it! lol
Fisher also delivers furniture to your office and puts it together for you. Hubby usually goes there for his desks and chairs.
I have that USC song in my head. Dangit!
The prizes have all been mailed.
Should arrive no later than Monday.
wow! that is something, ST. What a feat! Mahalo, Wena!
I think Fisher Hawaii is the only place you can buy those hard=plastic pieces that keep the margins of notebook sheets from curling in binders.
ST: you should buy the D RING binders. No curling there.
Fisher also invites you to take a pen or pencil. I think it’s inviting.
spent a lot of time at hemenway hall taking roll call.
anna bananas
kuhio grill
chico’s
university cue
campus cue
lincoln library, a place to nap
all within the vicinity.
jimmy you are right on it with the subliminals.
poor unsuspecting persons.
UH needs to get a nene to do this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gskbFJor5Ms
Al: of all that is on your list, I dined only at anna bananas and kuhio grill — both of them grungy and grimy. But, hey, it was fun.
cute parrot! I can’t whistle to save my life.
The ducks at the quarry pond seem trainable.
Stubborn too. I think one of them wandered onto the softball field during a tourney game last season. Tried to fly away, but the outfield net caused problems.
Now I have a picture of a bird singing the USC song. Dangit!
If a softball was going for the ducks head do you yell “duck” to the duck?
Noticed the UH Web site:
Women’s basketball announces “high-powered” schedule.
Men announce its schedule.
Women’s story is accompanied by a picture of Kamilah Jackson.
Men’s story is accompanied by a picture of a basketball.
Jake Ingram used to fish in that pond.
I’m hoping he didn’t eat what he caught.
#91 jimmy the lock – or like the politico said – well, enough about me – tell me, what did YOU think about my speech?
Somebody wrote “death chart.”
Freudian?
Wouldn’t it be interesting if Freud had been a cross-dresser?
Then we could have the Freudian slip.
ST, thanks for the visuals! Lol.
@tom mui
You want me to comment on D-ring binders?
Jimmy,
The duck should be able to see it coming.
Unless it’s at night. I wouldn’t blame the duck for getting hit. Ahem… hard to see balls in the air in the outfield even with the “lights”.
*cough* *cough* *clears throat*
how does the son of leo goeas not choose UH. former player, represents a ton of ex UH players in the nfl, big supporter of na koa… man that’s disappointing.
Trying to visualize the pond. I lived next to the quarry for 2-1/2 years back in the 1970s. Lots of dust.
#40 AL
What you propose is really crafty – did you go to law school?
@Kevin
lol. Switch to glow in the dark softballs. When they going fix the lights?
tommui…haha. i have been known to associate with many of that profession.
gg…was that one of your duh? jokes.
99 1/9 % of the patrons who walked through those doors of both anna bananas and kuhio grill did not go there to “?dine?”. food was an afterthought.
you never went to chico’s pizza for the really cheap sangria wine coolers and draft primo?
ah, we of different worlds.
anyway, most of the others were pool halls for us low life.
although campus cue did have ac.
d1…is having the doldrums once again.
Al: actually, I never went to anna bananas and kuhio grill as an undergrad. It was only after I married hubby that we went there ONCE each.
But hubby frequented those places as an undergrad, himself.
Al,
Neva went to Island Cue on friday nights for free Pee Wee hamburgers or sushi? What about Maruzen when was across Star Market for their very reasonable meals all with 2 slices of white bread.
I remember the toilets at Gartley were usually standing room only during the early mornings of finals when everybody was cramming (too late) at Sinclair.
Jimmy,
$1.7 million for the lights have been appropriated for at least the last 3 years now… at least.
Then they spent more money to do a survey to see how big the new light poles would be. Not sure how much they spent, but it wasnt cheap. So looked like it was gonna finally happen.
However, instead of lights, spent an additional $2.4 million on design only for a stadium that “we wont see in our lifetime”.
But hey, the intent was there right? No lights, but at least the have a very expensive design and the intent was good in nature right?
ahhh, what we did for a college education.
I better shut up already before I get a phone call again.
#pipebomb
@Kevin
At least it’s home field advantage.
One more thing…
It’s a funny thing when you have legislators calling asking what is needed and then stuff like this (softball stadium lights “quiet” fiasco) happens.
It’s a funny thing isn’t it?
Not a home field advantage when practices get cut short because a light pole and its lamps crap out.
Its not a home field advantage when the Wahine have to adjust to their own field lighting situation after a string of day games. Last season, they had a string of practices changed just so they could prepare for night games with the bad lighting before the WAC season started.
Its one thing to set practices to adjust to stadium lighting when it’s good. Something different when the stadium lighting is bad.
hmmm. where is Mark Takai when we need him???
Neon lights…. Nobel Prize… when the mirror speaks, the reflection lies… you don’t have to follow me, only you can set you free…I exploit you, you still love me I’ll tell you 1+1 makes 3… oh that cult of personality!!!
Have a great Friday everyone!!!
al-san – heard of all of those places except Lincoln Library. Must have been before my time… 🙄
looks like things are coming together.
Go Warriors!
ha! $2.25 was a lot of money when I made just $1.45/hr as a part time student clerk.
Back in the day, guys would actually pay for your meal. Before Women’s Lib.
Nowadays, guys expect you to chip in if not pay for the entire meal.
gigi — yeah, I splurged once in a while at night when Grace’s Lunch Wagon’s 80 cent plates weren’t available… 😐
Whew! When will it cool off?
Happy anniversary to the Shoji’s! Enjoy your trip to the Olympics, too.
Chico’s chicken bucket. Haven’t had anything close to that since those days. Sorry to hear that Soul closed down. Friend raved about the fried chicken and corn bread there. Read that the owner, Sean, has a Food Truck in Manoa.
Happy birthday to the crazy pink Mama Mia!
Whoo-hoo!!!
Never had the opportunity to sample the night life or foods at any of those places.
buffoman…no to island cue, not as a regular.
diamond cue was another.
maruzen in moiilili only when the piggy bank was full. but i remember the two slice white bread and butter.
chico’s was first with the broasted chicken if i am not mistaken. was better than their pizza.
small kine trivia/pay it backwards. we used to hang at chico’s a lot after an all night run at kanewai park for some pickup basketball games. i remember we used to hassle (in fun) the pizza makers and busboys every time. years later as i was retelling that story, the brother-in-law jumps up and says. “that was you guys from mckinley ah?”
wafan…you poor thing you led a sheltered life.
Buffoman — did you hang out at Island Cue between 1969 and 1974?
yup gg, in retrospect women’s lib really liberated men from all those expenses and behavorial correctness.
he who laughs last….heh, heh
Well, it is Tennessee . . .
He wasn’t drafted.
He was a Volunteer.
#138 Old School Dave
Soul closed down?!!!
Went there twice – good chicken. But I guess that it was doomed just because of the lack of parking. If you parked illegally at City Mill, you could have gotten towed away but even if you didn’t, crossing St. Louis Drive was kinda dangerous.
Hope he finds a better place for his restaurant or have his truck sort of permanently anchored somewhere.
147…someone’s trying to figure that out.
#142 Al,
Don’t think Chico’s was boasted. But there was this place on Sheridan Street that had broasted with a hint of garlic. That was my favorite. Last place I remember broasting chicken was Mililani Restaurant. They stopped a few years ago. Too bad.
old dave…i think its a kiosk ops at the manoa farmer’s mkt…sunday only.
chico’s was broasted…i used to watch them broast.
(well, there was one really cute girl there.)
but, yah chicken alice’s was unique in her own korean spicy broasted chicken that i think was fried. i think she put kochu-jang (sp?…where jason.?)
well, zippy’s uses a broaster, too.
Geez Al I remember Chico’s. We used to have wine coolers and beer over there.
But mostly we went to Kuhio Grill for the pupus and beer. Back in those days it was 50 cents for a beer.
Congrats to Cassy, a 3 & 1 winner in the HSWGA match play tournament on Oahu!
:-). :-$
SteveM…I used to go to Riverside Pool Hall behind City Mill on St Louis Dr and Farrington Cue and I know Island Cue.
Yeah, Chico’s was broasted chix.
Now I’m gonna rummage in the freezer for a DiGiorno’s pizza… 🙁
KG’s had the best tempura shrimp
GiGi… I used to spend $20 on a date… movies, drinks, dancing and breakfast afterwards….nowadays forget it even $100 not enough
Forgot to mentioned that Chico’s sliced potatoes were also memorable, along with the chicken. Read in the SA about Soul owner Sean Priester’s challenges with consistency and customer service. The article said that he felt that he can do well enough from his food truck business. The parking situation at that location (St. Louis and Waialae) was tough. He’s not a fan of Yelp.
oldtimer: lol
Would like to see Brittany Griner and Baylor when they come to town. Who knows might be a monumental upset ala Ralph Sampson.
I’ve been married so long, I’ve forgotten what it’s like to go on a date.
oldtimer808 — was Farrington Cue on King Street across from the post office? I didn’t know Riverside…and I don’t recall City Mill there when Chico’s was open. Of course, we didn’t go to play billiards… 👿
Yay Cassy!
al,
I tink he talking about Hana Chicken, not Chicken Alice
#150 Warrior Dave
Were you thinking of Hana Bishi(Sp) which was a couple doors away from the Animal Hospital (assuming it is still there) on Sheridan and Kapiolani?
…whenever I’m driving in the area, I check to see if they re-opened. 🙁
d1shima,
Thank you for remembering the restaurants name! WS going to bother me all night. Hana chicken was very very good. Chicken Alice was too spicy for me.
Congrats to Cassy!
#169 Tom Mui,
You and d1shima are spot on! Wonder why they didn’t re-open. Zippy’s broasted chicken just doesn’t come close to Hana.
I heard that a certain outfielder for the Wahine softball team doesn’t like to play night games because she can’t see the ball because it’s to dark. So I guess they will only change the lights when someone gets hurt and sues them……
Okay, so I was digging into the archives for high school photo, and came across a photo of me and best friend in front of (yeah, you guessed it) Chico’s. The only thing I remember going there for was the pizza…honest!
Kekoa, from yesterday’s blog–what is BP stand for? DPK mentioned it earlier too.
BP=Bravo/Papa or Baked Pie or Blog Party or ???
I guess I need an cheat sheet to a acronyms use here.
…maybe was too humbug driving da chikkins from Hana all da time!
Old School Dave
you can find SOUL Thursday farmers market Kailua
next to Longs Drungs and Whole Foods 5 – 7 pm
think Soul is building a restaurant on Bishop St

oldtimer808 — if you still dating, try a cruise ship. Everything you describe is free except the drinks. Throw in dinner and a show too…free. Doesn’t cost until you take her ashore… 👿
shhhh…no tell Dory.
@157 I remember that pool hall (Riverside) and was it Rainbow Cue that was the next street over?
Gigi-Hawaii
which way are you headed to Kahuku?
via Kaneohe
restroom available Windward Mall
McDonalds Koolau
Turtle Bay
via Haleiwa
McDonalds Mililani, Wahiawa, Haleiwa
IMHO, you don’t find SOUL, SOUL finds you!
food stops while at UH 1971-1972
Graces lunchwagon
Lum’s (specialized in variety of hot dogs)
where the Japanese restaurant is now
Chicos
Stadium Bowl-O-Drome
BTW, depending on Dory’s reaction to my # 179… we will be swinging through the islands late September on the Carnival Spirit.
Tuesday Sept 25 in Nawiliwili
Wednesday the 26th in Hilo
Thur-Fri 27-28 in Kahului
Hope to see the UH-BYU game ashore with the Maui Tsai-kos, but we have to rush back to the ship for a 6:00 pm departure.
oldtimer808
I remember small pool hall mauka side of Chicos
It was used for an old Hawaii Five-O episode
spent time at campus cue
university cue
holiday cue on Kaheka
??? on Waialae & 11th ave
but
mostly lived at Kalihi & Leeward Bowl till 4 am
let’s see – if college football had a “caste” system, then it may look like this:
elite: USC, Ohio St, Oklahoma, Texas, LSU, Georgia, Alabama, etc.
low class: UH, San Jose St, Georgia Southern, Grambling, Montana, etc.
for status, go to the “elite” school.
now, is that hard to comprehend?
Al & Chopsueyboy: Thanks for the info on Soul. I’ll get out there. Gotta do so before my next physical exam 🙂
SteveM….I’m not dating any more but I am dating my wife lol but we don’t call it a date any more. Just the mention of Chicos brought back a flood of memories that I had forgotten. I used to go the State Fairs that you see at Aloha Stadium but do you folks remember that the State Fair was held at Kapiolani Park and once where Ala Moana Shopping Center is now located. It was just a coral filled empty lot before the shopping center was built.
A House my point exactly
However in 3 to 5 years as we all adapt to new tech (Appletv) and internet the low class will will be able to monetize sports programming and revenue disparity will change.
Real fans will attend. Only way for me to hear real big bands!
Graces Lunch Wagon (Metcalf & University): “Chicken cutlet, extra salad, no chow fun.” Generous portions, very affordable back in the 80s. Lots of ginger in their chicken cutlet.
hana chicken thats correct. sorry senior moment.
riverside pool hall i remember.
anybody recall putt putt mini golf and pool hall?
i remember how many had a “home” pool hall and you’d go to rival pool halls and hustle a “friendly” game of nine ball.
and no forget all star drive, scotty’s, and chunky’s.
and those real drive inns, kc, kapiolani, alex’s, old byron’s.
Washington Saimin Stand
Yes Al I remember Scotty’s Drive Inn on Keaamoku St and parking in the back watching Kapiolani Drive In Theater because the screen was facing Scottys
That area where you now have Don Quiote, townhouses, condos was the drive in theater and the entrance was off of Kapiolani Blvd
And oh yeah still had clams in Kaneohe Bay until the early 60s maybe a little later.
The restaurant I remember was Liberty Chop Suey – was next to the Liberty Bank (makiki branch) on King Street – across the street. Eventually the owners moved to a location in Kalihi where Central Pacific had a branch and finally in Kapahulu. The name changed but the owner was the same.
oldtimer808
loved the chocolate shakes at Scotty’s and dipping the french fries into the shake.
late night dining was at
Violet’s Grill (kapalama shopping center)
Plantation Coffee House (Ala Moana Hotel)
Ferdinand’s (kuhio ave for hamburgers)
Waialana Coffee Shop
and Saimin House on N King St when it was near Tamashiro Market
but now it’s near Diner’s and not good at all
chopsueyboy,
Kaimuki Cue at Waialae & 11th, now Happy Days Restaurant. What a waste of a good poolhall.
National Billiards. Someplace by Cooke Street. The place changed so much, I can’t even remember where it was.
Yup, it was Hana’s Broasted Chicken on Sheridan Street; think it’s where Million Restaurant is now, or close to there. Chico’s chicken was breaded, and deep fried in a pressure cooker vessel … I guess that’s called broasting. The pizza was decent, but the chicken and the thick-cut wedge fries (with a pitcher of beer) … now that was the bomb. Miss Chico’s chicken (Zippy’s can’t compare) and Chicken Alice’s … haven’t had anything better since.
This is funny because we’ve had this discussion at least six times.
Al,
Posted this before, too.

Why Tennessee? Sal Sunseri is Tennessee’s new defensive coordinator. Apparently he is also a great linebackers coach.
I remember when Mililani Restaraunt had Broasted Chicken And Potato Wedges those were awesome I really miss that….but their fried rice is still one of the best and you get a ton

JMxxxx- you baking again?
re: Chico’s
We went there mainly for the chicken, potato wedges and coleslaw; all to die for (pizza not so memorable). The UH Basketball players (at least during the Fabulous Five era) used to drop by there.

Great Morning All!
42….
Good Morning! Yup, 42 more! Watcha think? Get chance? Wish we could watch Fall Camp!
Yeah, Chico’s used to be a slot car place. Used to go there. The other big track was the old Val’s Supermarket on Kalakaua and Beretania close to Kalakaua Bowl. Was good fun. My cars was junk as I never was able to “rewind” my motors and I was too poor to keep up with the real racers.
Damn I’m old.
Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.
Bleedgreen,
Tony Tuioti is our linebackers coach. but i don’t think Tennessee’s coaching is the difference. i think its that we got great linebackers and planning for some greats to come into our LB program next year.
