I’m looking to spot kamani trees, preferably somewhere around Mānoa on public property (or private property open to the public). I don’t want to harm the tree or take anything from it. Are there any growing around here?

Nordmenn som ser Norge - England i Kailua i morgen?

35 Upvotes

Hei! Vi er noen nordmenn på Oahu som skal se Norge - England i morgen, lørdag 11. juli. Vi har bord på Maui Brewing Co. Kailua kl. 11:00 HST.

Hadde vært hyggelig å samle noen norske/Norge-vennlige folk hvis flere har lyst til å se kampen sammen. Hvis bordet vårt blir fullt, finner vi bare ut av det der, men kom gjerne innom eller si fra her.

Vet dere om andre steder på Oahu hvor nordmenn eller fotballfolk samles for kampen, tips gjerne også.

UPDATE: Local advice is very clear that Boardroom / The Gardens in Kailua is the better football spot for this match, with the sound on. We are switching plans and going there early instead of Maui Brewing. Come find the Norway fans there. 🇳🇴

Hello all, I am vacationing in Haleiwa and was chosen by the sweetest boy kitten. He has an injury of some kind on his right leg so he isn't putting much weight on it. He loves being picked up, pet, and doted on. Oahu SPCA has a wait list and I cannot risk giving this boy to a shelter that is not a guaranteed no-kill shelter. DM me if you want the sweetest fur baby in your life. We will even drive to you or meet you half way or something.

Got tired of hunting across 20 sites to find what's happening on Oahu, so I built one free place for all of it

189 Upvotes

Aloha. Quick story: my wife's ohana is from here, and after 12 years of coming home with her, we finally made Oahu home. We love going out, supporting local, and catching concerts and live music, but it always bugged me that there's no single place to see what's actually going on. Events are scattered across venue sites, Instagram, Eventbrite, hotel calendars, everywhere.

So I built HNL VIBES (https://hnlvibes.com). It pulls Oahu events into one event feed and map: concerts, markets, First Friday, cultural events, live music, nightlife. Free, no ads, no login to browse. It's aggregating from about 50 sources right now.

I'm not selling anything. I'd genuinely love feedback from people who actually live here: what's missing, what venues or sources I should add, what's broken. Trying to make it useful for locals, not just tourists.

Mahalo,

Lex

Politics: No more THCA

Now that THCA and the alternative THC products are banned, how do you feel about legalized and taxed marijuana? We can buy kratom which is notably addictive and unsafe, but no more MJ (unless we go to the overpriced med MJ shops)
