WAIKIKI UNDERGROUND
As a long time resident
of Waikiki and avid beachgoer, I hold an incredible interest in all the goings on in my beloved Waikiki. Though not a
writer by trade, I did take an obligatory Journalism class in college. Sure, that was almost 30 years ago, but
still, I know how to justify a column and waddle my way around punctuation. Combine this training with the spelling and
grammar check on my computer, merge it with my “fresh mouth” that my Grandma
always warned me to control, and top it off with my deep and sincere love for
Waikiki, and I believe this makes me totally qualified to offer a completely
unbiased and greatly needed perspective on the state of this very unique city!
Please join me while I
tackle Waikiki stories and happenings, without sugar coating a thing,
presenting a raw and honest view of what’s really going on in Waikiki. Stories and activities brought to you from a perspective
that only a full time, fully immersed resident, who literally trolls the streets
and beaches day and night, could bring you.
We, the people of Oahu and beyond, deserve to be informed of what
really happens behind the pretty facade of multi-million dollar hotels, beaches
and never ending sunshine in what can only be described as the financial treasure
chest of the Hawaiian Islands.
One thing is certain,
there is always something, or lots of something’s, going on in Waikiki. From block parties to street repairs,
sporting events in Kapiloani Park to parades, sidewalk performers to Happy Hours
and sand replenishment projects (don’t get me started) to fireworks on the
beach, everything is not always as it appears.
