Korean Bar Reports

[QUOTE=OldIslandBoy;2531589]I'm glad someone else mentioned that. That smell was following me around and I thought, "did I step into something?" I even looked on the underside of my shoes.[/QUOTE]No "aroma" on the Sheridan to King St. -side KBs. Guess will have to skip the lower-side Kapiolani Blvd. KBs for a while because the aroma is probably from raw sewage backup. Not very pleasant or safe (methane), if it is indeed raw sewage. Poor planning on the part of development in the Kapiolani residential and business areas; ongoing problem. I'll stay upstream for now.

If it's the wahines, you know biz must be very slow for them to smell like rotten aku head.

That sucks if it's really a problem with the sewers. Who knows when it will be repaired or when there will be money for that.

Nothing to report, other than some fine-looking women in EG which I would have difficulty choosing one in an AMP lineup.

[QUOTE=OldIslandBoy;2531201]Yes, Maya is back. Not sure why though. She is helping out (not replacing) Yuri.[/QUOTE]Probably checking Maya's viability as a business draw; if there is evidence of a revenue increase or recovery in a failing unit (74) she may be used as GM with incentives. Just supposing - "I know nothing. " Only thing I do know is that in the KB biz nobody helps anybody but themselves.

The reported stench doesn't help Maya's cause. Mo bettah no be greedy and start one small travel agency, junkets to Vegas, or whatnot.

Who knows when it will be repaired or when there will be money for that.[/QUOTE]The current demands on sewage and water pipelines are outdated or possibly compromised in some way. The area is at sea level so anything can happen with seawater as a corrosive (more worse if the pipelines are halfway submerged). Doubt if the city or landowner will do anything due to redevelopment of the area sooner than never. Of course, if there is evidence of an emergency affecting public safety and health then probably they going do something (doubt it, though).

Call KHON-TV (Marisa, Kellie, Diane, Kanoe) Action Line for make them shame; Yunji at KITV, too. Post here so we can see them up close and get on TV. Other qualified newscasters?

[QUOTE=RatchetLover;2531468]It still smells terrible front and backside as well.[/QUOTE]Yeah blame the sewer problem on then Honolulu mayor Mufi Hannelman for diverting funds that was supposed to go for sewer improvements to that corrupt rail. That SOB is still working for the State to build up his pension after screwing over taxpayers.

[QUOTE=OldIslandBoy;2531201]Yes, Maya is back. Not sure why though. She is helping out (not replacing) Yuri.[/QUOTE]Thru the KBG wireless. She will be taking over 74 on August 01. We shall wait and see what happens. Seeing is believing.

Sewer main problem would have already shown up as overflowing manholes or backed up toilets.

[QUOTE=RatchetLover;2531468]It still smells terrible front and backside as well.[/QUOTE]Odor at Twilight emanating from the urinal (the smell is thick); wahine toilet no problem. There is no flooding or back flushing. Hard for enjoy anything in that environment.
Could be major clogging of lines by objects (paper towels, plastic bottles, raw garbage) via unstrained entry points or vandalism. May need beau coup snake job costing big bucks.

Summit as usual. Kind of dead, Evergreen LVBs everywhere, table half full, BGs raking up money. Kalihi side okay. But not busy. Bars aren't busy like used to be, even on a long weekend.

Mama have to get girls, the place is dead.

How mama going to pay the rent? I give them credit they are all trying hard. Turn off AC, no house pupus, increase the price of the drinks. The problem is, BGs are spoil these days, they have some sort of bad attitude, if you don't spend big, stay home. The other night I spend a Bill " 5 nekos" in 30 minutes. The BG was probably drinking green tea, she was acting like she feeling good and want it more. I said no she hopped on another table.

With this shit going on at the bar. Don't think the bar business will be improving soon.

Mama need to get girls, maybe reduce the price of neko would help more, grandpas like buy drinks but most are on fix income, they just can't afford to keep on buying.

One girl was very strict and insisted on a one foot buffer zone. No holding hands nothing. She was the BG equivalent of the MT who covers your whole body with a sheet and not just the loin cloth.

She claimed that all her customers are fine with paying just to talk, and acted like it would be my loss if she up and sat elsewhere if I stopped spending, which I did anyway. Guess I really fucked up and shoulda busted out my plastic.
