Aloha, Howzit?

I believe i have focused to much on the windward, central oahu, honolulu and waikiki areas. How about an area of the North Shore?

Its amazing how gorgeous this area is and its rich history. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as i enjoyed hunting it down. Aloha,

Suprise, Suprise, ive known what your opinion was a year ago. Its ok my fault i asked for feedback. But at the sametime there is some really interesting stuff like why a neighborhood is named the way it is etc. Also there is a mix of modern and past stuff.

Also i live in the present too lol. Mahalo for your imput.

Aloha, Howzit?

Pearl City is an interesting place that holds alot of memories for me as a child. Like anyone remember the penguins in the center court of Phase I (Uptown now) of Pearlridge Shopping Center, Or the tram, which is still there or the monkey bar? Anyway it wasn't my intention to bring up childhood memories. But Pearl City has an interesting history and folklore behind the city. The second video is kinda cheesy but still has some info. Enjoy.
