 Hello. We are here in front of McDonald's with Victor Lim. Hi there. Good afternoon. Good to see you. I know that you've been here. You are the executive director chair of the mall. I'm the chair for the First Street Mall Business Improvement District. And we formed this over 10, 12 years ago. And it's just a way of trying to see what we can do to make our area of downtown a little bit better. How many businesses do you have in the mall? Well, the First Street Mall Business District actually incorporates Nimitz Highway all the way up to Baritania Street. So any property that's on the mall is technically part of the First Street Mall BID. What about Union Mall? Is that part of you also? No, Union Mall is a separate entity. So our incorporation is just strictly here on Fourth Street. Yes, it is. So how many businesses do you have? On the mall? On the mall, you've got to actually count the buildings. Because we have some buildings that have a lot of tenants inside there like Pioneer Plaza, the Bank of Hawaii building. They have a lot of multiple people that are on the tenant. Like my property is just small. It's only one. Then you have Executive Center. You get all these commercial properties here. They have multiple talents. But the membership is made up of each property owner. So now this building right across the street here, that one is in all of the pictures of Old Fort Street. And it still looks like that. And it's a wonderful architecture that all of these buildings, some of these buildings are over 100 years old. And in fact, if you go up and down, it's not only that building. But the Pentheon building actually is probably the same generation building just like the building beside me, except that facade is different. When it started, you've been here since the beginning. So what was it like before that and what made you decide to come together? So what happens was that, if you got to remember, you go back 15 years, 16 years ago, downtown like today has a lot of challenges. We have challenges from vacancies in our buildings. We have challenges from homeless people. We have challenges from just any kind of things, you know, here. And so the property owners were very concerned that there's so much vacancy and downtown has a very bad reputation of being dirty and not safe. And so our primary objective of incorporating as a BID was really to try and change the trajectory and make it a cleaner, safer place for everybody. Because if it's safer and cleaner, then you're going to have merchants that's going to move in, consumers that's going to come in and shop in the area. So that's what the intent of what we did. And in the 15 years, you said 15 years. So you've seen a difference? Oh yeah, so what we did was really, you know, most of the cleaning and security in all of downtown is the responsibility of the city. And our role is not to let the city abdicate that responsibility. Our role is really to find a way to complement what the city is doing with their limited resources and how we can plus up so that we can keep our more cleaner, safer for everybody. So now my only request, and I do have a request, is that the benches out here so that when I buy something in here I can come out and sit down. Yeah, you know, the whole downtown area suffers from tremendous challenges of having benches and things like that. As you know, the city has also passed a lot of some of the sit and lie bills and things like that. Because there are a lot of people that use the benches not really for a sitting but as a way of camping out. And so, you know, there's pluses and minuses no matter what you try to do. I appreciate you and all the years that you've been here and knowing you has been a real pleasure and I'm glad to see what you're doing with Chinatown. It's part of my community service. This is where we work every day and of course we want to make it as clean and safe as possible for everybody that comes to downtown.
