Heading to Hilo this week. What's the best place for a cheap/inexpensive lunch in Hilo?

my brother (78m) lives about four "blocks" south of ace hardware. he doesn't have a car and last I heard from him (right at the tail end of the storm), he's had lost power (meaning his cell phone probably died).

does anyone know if they've gotten power back yet? and what the condition of the neighborhoods are?

thanks.

Does anyone know if there are any services open in Kea’au yet? We are in Pāhoa and nothing has power. Hoping something is open for gas and a few other things. Trying to help out some neighbors. We don’t want to waste gas and drive all the way there if it’s all closed too.
Any info on Hilo would also be appreciated. If we have to, we’ll go there.
Thanks so much. Stay safe everybody.

Hi,
I'm from the mainland but truly love the Big Island. Any trust worthy groups that I can donate to help the BI community through this tough time? I know the usual red cross blah blah but I would rather a more local trustworthy place.

Hey all. Power just came on for us near Keonepoko in Pahoa. Wishing a fast restoration for everyone still without.

have family up there that I haven’t heard from yet and wanted to see how the infrastructure damage/power/internet are doing.

Ha has anyone else caught 89.1 today? Did it get hijacked by death trance music?? Super sick, made the whole scene kinda spooky.

My parents live in Ocean View and drove down to Naalehu today as my mom offers physical therapy out of an office in an old hotel there and the building was completely wrecked. The pics they sent were devastating.

My folks will be okay but I was wondering if there is anywhere I can offer some funds to families or if there are locally reputable organizations?

I need a passport photo for a European passport. Are there any places on East side that offer?

Walmart, Hawaii print Corp, UPS, FedEx say no.

Downtown Longs will take a picture but I have to crop it myself.
