    Answered the phone, tried to find the book I wanted (unsuccessfully), then went above and beyond,…read moreto say that he is often in Volcano and willing to bring books up here ! Wow !

    (note: this review is written by my wife)…read more On the fifth day of our stay in Kona I finally was able to get my party to come with over to the other side of the island over in Hilo,ostensibly to see the famous Pele volcano.While that was in fact rather awesome to behold in person, I personally had a more spiritual time getting to do what I wanted to do on that side of the island: visit the only record store on the Big Island. I'm easily able to stay in a record store till close as I love the thrill of digging through stacks and stacks of old & interesting vinyl in search of musical goodies or oddities. Given this context, it should come as no surprise that Still Life was a complete joy for me. Entering the shop you immediately start hearing the lovely warm sound of a record playing and you then will find that the person playing it is one of the coolest & friendliest people ever, namely the store owner Kirk. Given how well organized and meticulously graded everything in the store is, one might assume that he was a long-time record store owner of sorts, but in actual it turns out he has a background in photography. This is only relevant in as much to praise how well he has kept & run the shop, especially given that the history in that he very sweetly took it over for the store's previous owner Rory, who, unfortunately had health complications. Luckily for Rory and everyone fortunate to be a customer, Kirk's dedication to Still Life continues to make the store one of the true gems of record stores (not to mention all the great collection of books which I didn't even have time to go through) I personally was able to spend almost 5 hours in the shop on my visit and I had a smile on my face the whole time. The collections of older rock, jazz, blues as well as singles are quite extensive given the amount of space the store has. I didn't get to go through the hip-hop records but they looks tantalizing as well. Finally, one of the absolute true gems in the collection is the Hawaiian music section. Lots of mint or very close to pristine records of stuff that is typically not carried in the mainland is on display and going through it is sure to widen the smile on one's face with its very cool variety and if you only take home one record, make sure it's from that collection. (Kirk is also very knowledgeable on that topic and happy to explain some of the history of the music!) Finally,to summarize the entire experience I would just say,come to Hilo for the volcano but stay to visit Kirk and his terrific record shop at Still Life. Mahalo!

    I've shopped at Habitat For Humanity Restore Shop several times. If they have what your looking…read morefor, you can score big time because their prices are very reasonable. My most recent purchase there was a floor lamp with ceramic pole. I had to replace the lamp socket on it but still a good deal. That's probably why it was donated. Anyway, they usually have a good assortment of light fixtures, tables, chairs and small appliances. The sort of stuff that people upgrade from time to time. They also are a good source of building materials that are left over from jobs the contractors finish. It's hit or miss whether you find the type or quantity of materials you need, but it's still a good place to check if you're about to start a project. We were there recently, to drop off a couple boxes of floor tile and some used copper tubing. I hope someone can use it. There's a small parking lot beside the building. Be really careful there because you might not have much time to react when someone backs out without looking. I had to use my horn, first time in years!

    My little thrifting heart was happy to stop here during our recent trip to Maui to visit my…read morehusband's family. We brought his nephew along and found some decent things for his apartment - a mid century side table for $50. They had so many huge furniture decor pieces and prices were pretty reasonable. Also tons of art and housewares. Our local family didn't even know this place existed but now that they do, they've told us they will be coming back. Definitely check this place out if you are looking for furniture and/or home decor on the island.
