.save our kakaako.

After this mornings surf session I headed over to Kakaako with Mari's friends to attend the Save Our Kakaako rally.

It was a very well organized event, complete with t-shirts [I love a good t-shirt, particularly in Roosevelt colors], stickers, signs, live music, cute puppies, young children waving signs, etc. The rally started in the parking lot of Kakaako Waterfront Park at 10 am. After a short pep talk, we walked down to Ala Moana Blvd to wave signs for 2-ish hours. Personally, I have never waved signs before, it is a hot, hot, tiring job.
People who honk their horn are awesome. I think there is a direct corrolation - the uglier the car the more likely the driver is to honk. Ugly car = a cool car.

The group, Save Our Kakaako opposes A & B's planned development of several condo units in the Kakaako area. The group is against the sale of public land for the gains of private companies. They would like the state to gain the input of the community to determine Kakaako's future.

Kakaako is one of the few large green spaces remaining in central Oahu.
