You mean nobody took a pic or video on their cellphone? Seems like EVERYBODY has a cell nowadays. Capture everything that goes on. They didn’t get license plate number, either?

The Hilo / Puna (East Side) of the Big Island has really undergone some unpleasant change over the past several years. There was a time when our Family thought that Hilo could have become a University Town / Retirement Community. Increased influx of transplants have really changed the once quaint atmosphere. In my opinion, the negative influence has grown from the South Hilo area and slowly across Hilo town and making its’ way towards North Hilo. Just my observation…
