The 2,584-acre Palolo valley is nestled between the green hills of St. Louis Heights and Wilhelmina Rise. The neighborhood mainstays o£ schools, churches and recreation center are scattered, but grocery stores and other small businesses are aligned mostly along 10th or Palolo Avenues, the two main streets of the valley. Check out the more than 350,000 orchids at Kawamoto Orchid Nursery. The greenhouse is ablaze in lavender, yellow, orange, red, green and variegated blooms. Palolo is a community where everyone takes care o£ each other, and no where is this more apparent than at Frank's Palolo Market, a neighborhood grocery that keeps prices low in support of the community. At Keali'i o Kamalu, you can learn Christian hula as well as traditional, with movements choreographed to Christian-based music. Delve into local artwork at Noelani Gallery and Picture Framing, and go home with a permanent part of Oahu. And don't miss Hobbietat, a small shop that has been around for more than 21 years and caters to everything a fisherman or an enthusiast of radio-controlled model car, boat or airplane could want.
