It’s never a great way to start the day with your normally dependable ride to and from work (and everything in between) stuttering and eventually stalling roadside. Really, it’s a crappy way to start the day. A call for roadside assistance was sent to VIP Towing, and after a 90-minute wait, a VIP tow truck […]

Bon Voyage Pier 1
I had thought Pier 1 in Kailua was a perfect match – the right merchandise for the right clientele. But I was wrong. Bon voyage Pier 1.
“For Safety”
It’s been awhile, but I just got denied entrance to yet another store while walking in with a drink. For this instance, the store was Ross at Ala Moana, and I was enjoying my half done Starbucks iced caramel macchiato. The greeter pointed out the no food or beverage sign on the door. I asked […]
Apple HomePod Showing Up at Target
It was a matter of time, but Apple’s HomePod music and smart home system is now showing up at Target. It’s still priced at $349 but using the Target REDcard 5% discount is as good as it gets on Apple devices. If you’re thinking of picking one up in store, I would call the location […]
Cooks Wanted
I had walked by a restaurant chain and was stopped by this sign. I guess the sign worked since it was gone a few days later. The cooks must have been acquier-ed.
It’s Official – Ross at Windward Mall
It’s now official though it seems Ross employees already knew, but a new Ross location is indeed opening at Windward Mall.
All In with the Seaweed Crunch
Who else out there is all in with the Seaweed Crunch snack available at Hawaii Costco locations? Who knew almonds and nori pairs nicely? And 36 pieces in one serving size! That’ll definitely fill you up. Since you never know if Costco will continue to carry this (or any) product, you might as well stock […]
Starbucks Haupia Nitro, a Hawaii Exclusive
The Starbucks Reserve Roastery location in the Waikiki Trade Center is the only place in all of America where you can order a Haupia Nitro. Yup, that’s a nitro cold brew infused with a coconut blended mixture. The walls of the special Reserve cup are lined with condensed milk (I think), and the finished drink […]
Ross Windward Mall?
Is the Dress for Less Store headed to Windward Mall? If so, the last of the OG malls would have a Ross location. First was Pearlridge then Kahala. The Ala Moana location was a recent addition, and 2018 could welcome the former Sports Authority space in Windward Mall.
Askhole, Know Any?
Saw this shirt at The Refinery in Kahala Mall that defines an “askhole.” Do you know any? A person who constantly asks for your advice, yet always does the exact opposite.
Where Were You?
Where were you when the (thankfully) false ballistic missile launch sounded? Me – eating breakfast waffles at home. Although a mistake, I’m sure awareness of what to do in this situation is definitely heightened and more people will get prepared Mentioned by The Verge. Yahoo News also reported on Twitter but with a mismatching image.
iPhone Battery Replacement Update
Update 1/5/2018: Battery changed out after making a return “appointment.” Servicing took about 90 minutes. Store is full of customers wanting to check out their iPhone battery condition. iPhone 6 feels noticeably faster with the battery replacement. Update 1/4/2018: Battery has arrived in store and need to schedule an appointment when to bring the phone […]
