Changes to Ala Moana Shopping Center

Went to Ala Moana yesterday and saw some of the changes Wayne’s World talked about. The renovations are looking good. The 4th floor dining section, Ho’okipa Terrace, is done, but all the new restaurants aren’t. Only Romano’s Macaroni Grill is close to opening (November 7 in fact).

Wanted to go to the Borders Express bookstore but found out they closed! Price Busters took its place but also discovered that Barnes & Noble is now open on the Street Level near the Satellite City Hall. This B&N could be bigger than the one at Kahala Mall. It’s new so everything is nice. Lots of books and their bakery has Starbucks and serves desserts from Cheesecake Factory.

If you get a chance, check out Ala Moana during the holiday season when more of the renovations are done. Should be very nice!
