Interesting article on a neighborhood fixture and the changing face of the neighborhood.

wow, great article - thanks for sharing it. and sweet on the Natural Heights shoutout! congrats!

Very cool!

Yeah the FB Enterprises gentleman was one of the first locals I met when I moved here and he was super friendly and accommodating answering all sorts of inquiries I had.

Yay! I'm headed over there tomorrow for my last, embarrassingly belated, Xmas run.

What they didn't mention is that Hialejaa is also a master woodworker. He builds incredible bookshelves, beds, almost anything you can imagine in wood. He's the person who built all of the wooden flowerboxes along Washington ave. He even built my dog a solid wood doghouse a few years back. He's a great guy!

does anyone have a po box there and know how much it costs? how are shipping & drop off rates calculated? curious..

I don't really know how he calculates shipping rates, but I ship a lot of stuff that I sell on Amazon through him (i.e. small media-mail packages), and I really don't think he charges much of a premium because I still come in under Amazon's shipping allowance.

Yeah for Hialejaa! This is wonderful, for him and for the nabe!

The article is very good and really shows on the type of nice neighborhood we have. Thanks for posting it.
