Do you recall when chickens in Hawaii used to TASTE like "chickens"? I especially recall eating local-grown chickens! I certainly DO remember Kress & Woolworth!

Wow...I have those same fond memories that you have of going with my mom to Oahu Market! (I sincerely hope no one ever comes up with the idea of 'renovating' that old place!) However, I don’t recall the live chickens for sale, but I remember another part of the old downtown on Fort Street Mall—where the old Kress and Woolworth stores were! Do you remember that? (I remember especially getting lost in the old Kress store when I was a small child!) Chinatown seems forever timeless in my mind’s eye, even though I know in reality it continues to evolve.

I still remember live chickens for sale at a stall at the foot of Bethel Street where it intersects with Nimitz Highway. Does anyone else remember that?
