Today there is no more sugar, banana, or (soon) pineapple production. It's all moved to South America or the Philippines. The lack of jobs and increasing housing costs have resulted in an economic crisis only survivable by the already wealthy. You have to leave the state when you graduate school as there's not enough work locally.
Lohphat you are correct about that. We go every year and even from 25 years ago it’s waaaay changed. Love Oahu but headed to the big island for Nature, follow us along 👍
Nice memories. Refreshing place. Someone special left behind.
I've been to Hawaii, but oh how I'd like to go to Hawaii in the 1950s. What a vibe!
Agreed. We go once a year how I would like to see it unspoiled 🌋 🏖
Yeah raised here and it’s still so crazy to see the streets I live on back then it’s so cool yet crazy
Wow just back from Waikiki...What a difference. Does not even look like the same place. Wish it still looked like this.
People say that about nearly every state. It is because people have babies , the numbers add up. Simple math.
@@ediewall6360 yup will be interesting to see it again 50 years in the future!
@@jeffchevrier3871 You are speaking to an optimist and a dreamer who knows a thing or two ( facts ) about the future. Heaven on Earth!!!!!
My grandmother said that when the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred it was hard to understand at first because most people knew next to nothing about Hawaii beyond that it was a US territory. It would be like an attack on American Samoa or Saipan today.
Wild. All the history books portray it as much more.
Fantastic. And if you are bad, Magnum PI will get you!
Lol magnum pi 👍
Zoinks I get it
Hawaiian Airline should have reviewed this film for local words & pronunciation. The producer got a lot of things wrong.
They usually do!
This film was shot in 1952; the vehicles have 1952 license plates, used for only that one year.
Great history lesson here 👍
We love Hawaii. In Bermuda now and headed there soon.
Those smoking hula dancers at the back stage destroyed my 'By gone era' fantasy though.
I would like to see Hawaii doing this Time....it must have been beautiful...no Condos...my dad seen Hawaii in 1941...when he saw Waikiki in 1997...He wanted to go home...he could not believe at the buildings
Before 5-0.
Als die Welt noch in Ordnung war... lol
1:10 ...hmmm? ....no name for Molokai huh? Lol
Yup the jig is Up. Private Is Land... Thx for the Answer.
Hawaiian hula ' smokers '...I never thought of them that way until now ; yuck!
