Briefly Noted

We begin the month with a few photos and some brief commentary.

We're delighted to say we've seen real progress with a few of the vacant properties we wrote about in an earlier column. Remember this, the old home of Jack in the Box on Kuhio?


It's now ready to become this, and we're anxious to try it out.


On the other hand, we found this on the mauka side of the Ala Wai near the canoe club. Not terribly attractive but at least it's in an area where most tourists won't see it.

  
And then there was this, at Makittii on Kuhio.  Appreciation for earthquake support by giving North Americans 10% off while Japanese pay full price?


Though it's been photographed many times, who can resist another beautiful Waikiki sunset? 


Did you identify last month's mystery photo? This lonely but elegant and well-tended palm tree is on the upper story of the International Market.


This month's mystery photo isn't much of a mystery. The challenge is instead to identify where it was taken. Do you know? We'll tell you next month.

I'll pass on entering a guess on the mystery photo being that I reside on the Ala Wai and have an unfair advantage. That humongous pile of belongings is probably the worldly goods of a single hobo.
