A fictional storefront built by the producers of the CBS television series “Magnum P.I.” is seen on Waialae Avenue on June 14 in Kaimuki. The space, once an antique store, remains vacant. As Hawaii’s economy begins its slow recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, many of Kaimuki’s small businesses— some who had been around for over 40 years — have not survived.2/13
