So, what I do is combine my weekly visit to Longs Drugs with my weekly grocery store stop and then, stop in at one of the eateries for a bite and and a beverage. No stress.

The Kalama Valley Shopping Center is in transition. Looking at it as a first time visitor, it has…read moreseen better days for sure. Deserted and most likely forgotten, this once vibrant hub of economic activity in this portion of East Oahu has been vastly erased from the community's consciousness for a while. Normally, I would frequent Koko Marina shopping center or the Hawaii Kai Towne center in my outings to Hawaii Kai, but I felt compelled seek this place out just to see Kalama valley, the surrounding neighborhood, and the larger community. I was here on July 4, but clearly the shopping center was not at all a thriving engine of commerce in this area. Located on Kealahou Street, this derelict shopping center is nearby to the Koko Head Botanical gardens, which I included on this day trip to Kalama Valley before heading to Sandy Beach for much needed R&R before returning to work on the day after the 4th of July. Yep, gotta work on a Friday, especially when there's a crapload list I need to get done or I get busted. Anyhow, also nearby are some community parks for sports, and a cute little golf course. Kalama Valley Shopping Center reminds me a little like Aina Hina Shopping Center, but wow, I didn't know it was this bad out here. There is a private parking lot, but as you can imagine, it's virtually empty. Pretty sure it's lone active tenant, Thai Valley Cuisine isn't filling it up packed on the daily, but its good. If you are like me, TheBus route #23 passes by this shell of a shopping haven, but I think that the Thai Valley Cuisine is pretty good. (See review). Not sure what else to say about the Kalama Valley shopping center, since there's not much to review about a shopping village that's lost it's mojo. I should do some research as to why this shopping center is the way it is. Hoping that there is a revitalization plan in the works, just so it will be a better visit the next time around. This mall is like your basic community strip mall that can be a decent vestige of community pride when the investment is there and the community is behind this instead of venturing out to Koko Marina and Hawaii Kai Towne center for their everyday living and entertainment options. There wasn't much in the way of chairs and seating areas around this strip mall. There is restroom facilities here, but under lock and key. Looks like the upkeep isn't particularly good and it probably had lead to the shopping center's decline, among other issues. As mentioned before, I have faith that this shopping village can overcome its challenges and be a spotlight of economic prosperity that the entire community can enjoy. Just not recently, I'm afraid. Just gotta believe and I'll be coming back when that time has come. I do like the architecture that this shopping center sports. Reminds me of the Kona-Keahole International Airport, where the roofs are pyramid in shape. Support local! Unrated.

Take the drive to Hawaii Kai with Costco, Ross Dress for Less, Koa Pancake House, Māla Market, City Mill and so much more it's certainly a place that many do flock over for those biz that's just a fraction to mention and many other services as well. Parking is not the biggest though somehow I do manage to find one with patience as this Town Center is divided into a couple sections which you're able to travel between them easily. What's the biggest draw for me personally is the water view in the back where there are some shaded tables though never enough as it's usually occupied by many for obvious reasons it's so easy to sip your drink or enjoy your lunch and get lost in the marina view which we're so lucky to have. Thank you!

Getting the Tour…read more.. Who knew that this was the name of the building although it's been planted on the side ever since lol! Well it's home to of course La Tour Cafe and just recently La Tour Bakehouse also have many favorites like Tanaka Saimin, 7-Eleven, Party City, Bangkok Chef just to name a few. Getting there is easier than parking if you don't know, when you drive up just go straight down behind the building which will take you around to the front as the parking is one way so if you want to park closer to a specific biz this would be the way or just park beside the building near 7-eleven though most of the stalls are reserved and can fill up easily sometimes. Great variety of biz here whether if you're planning a party, or just hungry with lots of free parking makes it a great place to explore and take care of those cravings. Thank you!

A couple of other eateries are situated in La Tour Plaza - Tanaka Saimin and Bangkok Chef. Other establishments include Party City and 5.11. Next to Bangkok Chef is a keyed entrance to upstairs office buildings - the property management office, physical therapy office, etc. Parking is problematic. Lunch hours: lot is full. Entrance is from Alakawa Street...busy. Exit is from Alakawa or Nimitz Highway...busy. When you enter from Alakawa if there aren't any open stalls you can't enter the main area with stalls at storefronts...you have to turn left at 7-11, on the ewa corner of the plaza. Also, exit only on the Lowes - Diamond Head end - but drivers periodically disregard the "Do Not Enter" sign.

The plaza is also home to a number of cultural events, such as festivals and art exhibitions and a small temple within easy walking distance nearby. A parking garage is offered. The service, the selection of all the stores and the value of the items you can find in this place is incredible If you're in Chinatown definitely worth adding to your itinerary.
