I gotta go back and sneak some pictures of that toilet video they got going. The decor is still a novelty, and if they lifted their stupid "no photos" ban, the place could turn into some kind of odd tourist attraction. More photos and comments at:

This place is basically right across my office building. While the outside tables and faux foliage look very good, I'm not sure I like the inside at all. I got a little claustrophobic the first time I went in, and I try to avoid going in as much as I can these days.
And yes, I still call it Daiei. I'm still trying to get used to calling it at least "Donki."

What? It changed again? I still can't stop calling it Holiday Mart.

Yes, I went to kindergarten at the Nimitz School from 1959-1960. My teacher was Mrs. Shimabukuro. I lived in NHA#3 on 15th Street with my parents, 2 younger sisters and younger brother. I remember drinking milk out of the Dairymen's Lani-Moo whistle cup. I went to Holy Family Catholic School, which was a walk through a neighbor's back yard and then across Main street. I don't remember the "Ah-gee-no-moto" jingle but I do remember the Sunbeam bread "puka free" slogan. I remember this black Chevy panel truck that used to stop every evening in the NHA-3 neighborhood selling candies, ice cream and little toys. Does anyone remember what it was called? I also recall the Navy yellow jeep that sprayed for mosquitos once a week and the older kids riding behind it on their bicycles in the vapor. We left NHA-3 and Hawaii in Feb. 1962 after my dad got transferred to the mainland. I have not been back since.
