Aloha Hump Day, Folks!
Even though this island is small, it is still possible to discover new things after many years. In this case, it was a very old new thing, not far from my house. Unfortunately, it was a bit late. When I happened upon this Puunui store, it was closed. I thought for good. A short while later I saw that they had a farewell party as a final goodbye after 89 years. Missed it. Maybe I don’t get out enough.

The original market opened in 1926 and it changed hands in 1982 when it was given a fresh coat of yellow paint. The new owners sold local favorites and made it a neighborhood hangout. I’m not sure how many mom and pop stores are left, but there can’t be too many.
Time moves so slowly.
Or perhaps it doesn’t move at all and
it is we who pass through it.
