Go get um Uncle Ron.  Stay strong and keep up the fight.  As a mainlander now that grew up in the area, my heart sinks whenever I read about a new tower coming up.  I remember as young kid trying to find the guts to ride my BMX bike down the old giant hill at Kewalos back in the day and as I got to high school, remember partying on the weekends at Incinerators. Some pessimists might say that holding on to past memories is an acute form of "depression".  But having been back this past year for the Father's Day weekend, and seeing all the new construction at the corner of Ala Moana & Piikoi, the Oahu that I knew growing up only exist in Kalihi with the old saimin stands. Ugh.
