We marveled at his job when he told us that with his magic press pass, he had access to front row, courtside and sideline seats to concerts and sports competitions around town. What a job! I remember when chili plates at Rainbows were a dollar (although my fave is still the veal cutlet plate!) but The Dog House? Now that's nostalgic!

And where Bea's Drive Inn used to be wasn't there a Donald Duck Drive Inn? or Restaurant? Something like that. Of course Leonards is still there (malasadas, pan-docé and guava chiffon cakes), Rainbow Drive Inn (dollar chili anyone?), I think the first Taco Bell in the state (wasn't one of our classmates family involved with that?), Ono Hawaiian Food and more. I think there are more eateries on Kapahulu Avenue per mile than any other street in the state.
