To live here you have to live by rules, keeping your lawn cut, no junk cars, etc. So we managed to park it sideways at the back so that the two vehicles now stick out instead of the boat. But that is allowed. That sort of thing. Most of the sugar production has been phased out, and there is not much pineapple left except to ship fresh pineapples to the mainland.
Labor costs are too high here.
Dole is now more active overseas, although here they still have control of vast tracts of land. Much of it is now covered with fledgling coffee plantations and McDonald's. I used to take the kids to the little shack on the way to the North Shore to have a few slices of ripe pineapple at the Dole pine stand. The usual tourist stuff. Thank God for the Outdoor Circle, a band of civic minded ladies with influence, who managed to organize a boycott against any company that dared put up billboards.
