Oahu General Plan Focused Update (Message from the City and County of Honolulu)

Aloha!

We want to hear from you!

The Department of Planning and Permitting is asking for community input to identify possible changes to the City's General Plan. There are several ways to participate.


Take the community survey

The survey is available on-line through

This is one of the tools being used to gauge public perception about the issues being considered for the General Plan Update. Such issues, which are critical to residents' quality of life, include economic health, regional population and growth, agriculture, affordable housing, and sustainability. The survey is completely anonymous and takes about 10 minutes to complete.

Local We Love! The KC Waffle Dog

There's a new medial building on Kapahulu Ave, near Market City.  For locals, we'll refer to the location always as, "where KC Drive In was." 

So many of the greats have gone.  Alex's Drive In, Teddy's Drive In, KC Drive In...  the old Mom & Pop diners were the staple fine dining of old Hawai`i.  They each had their signature item, whether a milk shake or fried noodles.  Only a few of them remain: Rainbow's Drive In and W&M BBQ Burgers are a couple of those rare gems that still stand. 

(We're figuring a couple of you may not have heard of the hole-in-the-wall W&M, so check out the map below.)

Despite all these changes, the KC Waffle Dog lives on.  We had some recently at the Ukulele Festival and they're as delightful as ever. 

So if you find yourself craving a KC Waffle Dog, check them out online http://www.kcwaffledog.com/ to find them at local festivals and fundraisers.  There are also a few retailers that sell them regularly:

Twilight at Helumoa - Aug 6, 2011

Harry Potter Finale Fantastic

He may be a wizard, but it was a movie fit for a King. In short: the final installment of Harry Potter is extraordinary.

There's nothing about the film that isn't awe-inspiring. From the beautiful CGI and imagery that perfectly matched the dazzling literary world created through the books, the films remind me of the original Star Wars films. Aside from the spectacular visual efforts, the movies won over audiences through fascinating characters and extraordinary acting.

And the acting is spectacular. We get the delight if seeing some of our favorite characters in action. Mrs. Weasley vs Bellatrix Lestrange is just wonderful.

We also discovered the wonder of buying our tickets online.

The reduced stressed of skipping lines made the experience all the richer.

(Note: We saw it in TitanXC 3D. It was worth the extra money for the tickets.)

Ukulele Fest is the Perfect Family Fun

Sure, there are headlines like Jake Shimabukuro and Ho`okena, but let's face it... the real stars at the Ukulele Festival are the kids.

The 41st Annual Ukulele Festival was held yesterday at Kapi`olani Park. It was a sea of pop up tents and families enjoying great music in the park. There were also lots of great booths of good local food, like KC Waffle Dogs.
