Just returned from Kauai. Nothing happening at Coco Palms yet. Hopefully the project will move forward. I visited it back in the day, prior to Iniki.

We were there yesterday. There's a strong odor of burnt wood from the chain link fence at the entrance. It's really shabby looking. Definitely a teardown. Some of the rooms are only a few feet from a busy road. If they build further back, they'll have to cut down some of the nice coconut trees.

The way things move on Kauai I'll be dead before anything starts.

You are usually right on with events in Kauai but it seems like this is a real go. When we were there last month the locals seem to think that the project will proceed. Apparently there is considerable political support for it and the past legal entanglements have been resolved.

I believe that the cleanup process will be as fast as possible. Lots of local jobs to be created and will help any politician who wants to be elected/re-elected. It will be good to see that spot redeveloped in some fashion.

I'm not surprised. Years ago I took the movie tour, which included walking around this property. None of the buildings looked salvageable.

I stayed there on my first visit to Hawaii with my parents and sister in 1968.

Personally, I can't wait for the first Elvis Impersonators Convention to be held there. A whole lot of nostalgia wrapped up in that place.
