When the company that owns the Molokai Lodge closed the boutique hotel about a year ago after a heated dispute over more development on the Friendly Isle, many local residents thought it was just too nice a place to keep boarded up for very long.
They were wrong.
The company, Molokai Properties Inc., or Molokai Ranch, has also kept shuttered its Kaupoa Beach Village and the Kaluakoi Hotel, as well as its rodeo arena, movie theater, restaurants, Kaluakoi golf course, gift shop and gas station.
Still Molokai is a nice place to visit even with out the Ranch.
