After ...Jalna, I never mentioned this on your blog. After Wigwam sold out in the mid 1970's my Father started an Import Export business in downtown Honolulu. It was in a very very old building on Fort Street Mall. It was about 1975, and I came home from college that summer and helped my Father refurbish that office space. I painting, fixed plumbing, electrical and all kinds of things. I love being in this old Historic area of Honolulu! It's a very special place! Then by 1978, my Father bought Wigwam Quality Furniture from our long time friend Bill Stone. And we changed the name to "The Marsh Company Home Furnishings". Mar.....stood for Marvin and Mark, SH....stood for Shelby, our family name. In my opinion, my Father was one of the most brilliant businessmen Hawaii has ever seen. There is a write up about Dad in the local paper from back in the late 1980's. And Dad framed it and hung it on his office wall at home. I was always so proud of my Father, Marvin Shelby.

I want to start a fun restaurant and charge people outlandish prices and retire young! ; )<br /><br />Posted all in fun.....hehe<br /><br />No but seriously. I always thought it would be so fun to own a very popular restaurant. And listen to all of the happy and full belly customers! And have fun every day at work!<br /><br />Looks like a very nice place Jalna! And I have walked all of those streets since I was a little boy from the 1950's. So I can surly appreciate the renewing of the old buildings into awesome places!<br /><br />Good find!<br /><br />If I remember right.....I used to get a cheap hair cut on that street by a Chinese barber! ; )Mark Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576565776195955551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282131801177338433.post-13501687056250935932015-02-13T11:18:22.080-10:002015-02-13T11:18:22.080-10:00Thanks Taryn!

(remember the Costco lady?)<br />Their salads are really good, and unreal cheap, imo.<br />The pork bowl is also delish. Glad the sandwich was good - I had the chicken one once and was not impressed but maybe it was a bad sandwich day for me.<br />Parking can be tough, but there is a cheap public parking garage, entry on King Street immediately after the church on Maunakea/King, small dinky sign with an almost invisible downward sloping driveway. That way, next time you can take your time and walk around Chinatown for great pics.<br />For ono Chinese food, try Little Village just up the street on Smith - they have a little tiny parking lot on the mauka side of the building.<br />Now I am hungry!!!<br />Honolulu Auntyhttp://honoluluaunty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282131801177338433.post-22482642219128232202015-02-12T09:43:23.541-10:002015-02-12T09:43:23.541-10:00everything looks so GOOD!everything looks so GOOD!DNakamaruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912835964645784878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282131801177338433.post-83628561270908698852015-02-12T08:20:24.003-10:002015-02-12T08:20:24.003-10:00Oh, wow, that all looks and sounds so yummers (exc...Oh, wow, that all looks and sounds so yummers (except for the lamb -- yuck, can't eat lamb or veal -- the only "baby animals" I eat are eggs).Lornanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282131801177338433.post-73484858619512738202015-02-12T07:33:06.176-10:002015-02-12T07:33:06.176-10:00OOHHHHHHH!
