You are most welcome! Still trying to "Magnum it up" a little more but I like this new format as well!Gorilla Mask wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 11:18 amFirst i would like to warmly thanks Conch and his tech team who made a wonderful work with resetting (rather, mainly rebuilding from scratches, i guess) our board ! I like very much the new style of it !
...huh...)discover yet !! 
You got it with the stickers!Gorilla Mask wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 9:40 am Thanks Pahonu, glad you enjoyed this little research !
There must be so much 'gold nuggets' burried all around in this forum... Much yet to discover !
Very nice old VW van ! Much like T.C.'s. Let me guess: each time you go hiking in the Mountain or in a natural reserve, you add a sticker ?
You just have to spray a fresh tri colors paint and add an Island Hopper Vinyle and that is it !
However, i did not notice King Kamehameha Club first class membership pass logo on your vehicle...Pahonu wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 8:18 pmYou got it with the stickers!Gorilla Mask wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 9:40 am Thanks Pahonu, glad you enjoyed this little research !

It’s not an atypical story, historically speaking. The Chinatowns in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland are not in their original locations for some of the same reasons you describe above. The time frames are all different though. I believe the same is true of Seattle but I’m not certain.Gorilla Mask wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 11:16 am As some may know, finding locations is not an end in itself... The goal is also to better integrate the idea of a 'time capsule' around Magnum PI. At least, that's my idea. You don't have to agree.
The idea is also to better understand and apprehend the history of Hawaii through the arrangement of its spaces in time. In this sense, there is, from my point of view, truly a 'documentary' aspect in Magnum PI...
Many scenes take place in Chinatown and the old working-class neighborhoods around North Street. This neighborhood has undergone an important and rather brutal transformation since the end of the 1970s. Today, we no longer find the slum and decrepit side that we can see in the episodes. Today it looks much more like touristy district or the standard of living, but also the cost of living appears much higher ...
I found here an interesting article on the net that tells this story of Chinatown: between urban renewal and the loss, or even destruction, of a typical housing and a community of life. According to this article, the public authorities at the time, perhaps influenced by the business community and developers, thought they could solve the problem of overhousing by encouraging, evicting, legally expropriating the inhabitants (about 2,000) of Chinatown and implementing a major urban renewal program. In doing so, the article argues (it is a point of view) that this program was also harmful by precipitating the degradation of the standard of living of these inhabitants with modest resources and by destroying, in the end, a completely original social and community group.

According to this article, this urban regrouping has mainly benefited rich entrepreneurship, traders and businessmen more wealthy. Retired people, small workers and shopkeepers who were expropriated often did not have sufficient income to sustain the costs of their relocation.
I don't do politics, it's just for historical interest.
Thanks for reading !

Panohu, you are absolutely right about the reproducibility of this phenomenon. In France, we have several famous examples.Pahonu wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 10:12 pm It’s not an atypical story, historically speaking.
