This was at one time the Sun Ki Heong Chinese Restaurant/Obatake Jewelry Store. It was built in 1932 by Cheong Sum and equipped with a $1,000 Knight soda fountain, a huge G.E. refrigerator, a Victor phonograph, dumbwaiter and a doubly reinforced upper floor for dancing. Over the years it housed a liquor store, baby clothes store and the Obatake Jewelry Store. It was rescued and restored by Mark Jeffers after the hurricane and now holds the Storybook Theatre of Hawaii. It too is on the State and National Historic Register.
This was Seto's Meat market/Virdinha Feed Store. It was built in the late 1800s by the Seto family and stands at the entrance of Hanapepe. It originally was a meat market and children would stop on their way home from school to purchase a cut of meat for 25 cents for their evening meal. The sugar cane train ran next to the building. In the 1930s it became a fish market, then the Aloha Market which sold groceries. Finally the Vidinha family purchased it as a feed store. Today it houses a gallery and gift shop.
This is a more recent addition to the town. It is the beautiful Hawaiian Congregational Church in the middle of town.

Doug Kenney did not parrish falling off the swinging bridge, he went over the barrier at the Hanapepe Look-out and fell off the cliff.
