This is the grandfather of shopping centers on Maui which opened in 1951, and is pretty sizable in land at just under 17 acres. In its heyday, it was a bustling commerce & hangout spot, a favorite of senior citizens in the later part, who'd talk story, and play cards and board games under the shade of the monkeypod trees. It has since halfway burnt down and never rebuilt. The look is old and dreary. It still houses several businesses, including medical, finance, restaurants, new car inventory parking, and even a church. Parking is plentiful and vehicular access is super easy.
TIP:
They have a really nice farmer's market, usually on Wednesdays and Fridays.
