Hilo is one of my favorites. So much good, fresh food. Nice people. Yes, some hippies and drugs, but overall nice, local people.
Considered the center of modern Hawaiian culture. Cool vibes.
Lots of rain but also a few really fun surf spots.
The local produce is amazing. Seeing Mauna Kea in the background is inspiring. Like seeing the Rockies.
Also you can drive to other parts of the island that feel totally different.
There's also the Merrie Monarch Hula Festival every year that is a lot of fun.
Grand parents and Uncles lived Hilo side when I was a kid. Love that place. The houses deep in the boondocks outside of town are close enough to get to Hilo but far enough away where people don't bother you. I haven't been back in years but I need to make it over there at some point.
I wonder how Hilo is doing with work from home crowds? Although I think Puna has a way of keeping people there in check.

Just don't buy beachfront property. I remember hearing about something that happened in 1960. Or was it 1946?
Fukking amen to that. Things are heating up in my particular little media world

same here, scaling back up to almost pre covid levels. grateful with an even thriftier mindset now.
I've had my eye of this house for a while. In my price range. Just don't know what it would be like living a 30 minute drive to the nearest town. Obviously not a situation most would like because it's been on the market for a long time.
Looks damp and dark. Living deep in the forest like that would be weird. Would have to cut some trees down to create a clearing somewhere to get some sun.
Garrapata is español for tick. Sounds enchanting.
Depending on how crazy you’re willing to drive it’s an hour to the closest grocery store in Zihuatanejo, 1/2 hour to La Union, not a real grocery store, produce and meat suck and La Union is in general a pita to do anything.
How does the boss feel about living in the middle of nowhere?
Tidal wave ... April Fools day ~ 4/1/1946 ~ wiped out Hilo
(edit) and 1960
both earthquake related
Alaska and Chile
(edit) For those that have visited Kauai and drove down the hill to the beach at Kalihiwai, That, was the main road to Princeville and onto Hanalei. After the 2nd tidal wave of 1960, the road / highway was moved higher to where the Kalihiwai Bridge is today and continues on to Princeville and westward.

didn't we just read about a whole community of houses like this going up in flames?
lol about cutting down trees for light.
I'm sitting here in the PNW LMAO at this comment. That place is neither deep in the forest nor dark.

Looks damper and darker in that photo for sure. I think forests are amazing, but I don't want to live inside them. That view from my deck that gets plenty of sun? Fug yeah
Was at funeral in Oregon two years back.
In attendance was someone from Texas.
At the graveyard he and I are talking about everything except the dead person while waiting for the event to start.
He says, "It sure is pretty around here, but I couldn't do it."
"What?"
He says, "Live here. Its too dark, trees everywhere, its like a bear or mt. lion or something could jump out at any moment."
*looking around the graveyard*
"Uhhh, here?" (actual image of said graveyard where we are having this discussion, we're pretty much in the center of the image...marina at top of image was just ruined during the snowstorm this weekend past, snow induced collapses)
He says, "Yeah, that ravine over there is nothing but trees, shrubs, stickers."
"Oh. Yeah, the ravines are pretty thick, but you don't live in there. They can be fun to hike through or if you're kid, you can play jungle warfare in 'em (this guy was in the army at an earlier point in his life so I thought mentioning that us kids played 'war' would further cement the commonality)."
He says, "Its not just the trees, its the low clouds, the rain, the mist, its just, i don't know, all together, its just spooky, like something is there hidden, waiting for you."
At that point I was just glad we weren't in the old part of the cemetery (Henry Weinhard of local brewing fame is buried at the lower right):
He needs to visit the piney woods in east texas. If not for the enlightenment at least for the barbecue.
