Rona Mother’s Day Treats?
Who knew donuts from Donut King would be a hit Mother’s Day treat? The line extended past Times.

According to my Google Maps timeline update, my travels for April 2020 summarize as such:
Hmm, only 5 places traveled to. Sounds about right during these Rona times.
While driving in the Enchanted Lake, Kailua area yesterday, it looked like the Save the Geese campaign had some afternoon supporters.
Please keep that in mind the next time you’re riding an escalator and repeat to yourself, “Escalators are not exercise machines.” If you forget, this sign will help you remember.
Now I would have expected something like this at Ala Moana where it seems mandatory that at least one set of escalators is broken. But alas, I guess some Windward guests were overly zealous with their exercise routines in the mall and caused this outage.
So remember that escalators are not exercise machines.
Are you ready? Hawaii’s latest Ross location in Hawaii opens in Windward Mall on Friday, October 12, 2018 according to the Ross store locator.
Now I don’t know what time the store actually opens since I doubt the grand opening would actually occur at 7:30am. I mean the Ala Moana grand opening didn’t occur at 7:30am.
Anyways, the Windward Mall location is shaping up, but there’s still work to be done, mainly with inventory. The exterior entry way was full of Matson containers unloading the goods and dumpsters full of now-empty boxes. Sorry no pictures of this.
On the interior of the mall, you can get a glimpse of the familiar Ross design.
The racks are filling up, but the men’s shoe section looks woefully empty for now. But as evident by all these emptied boxes, there’s more stocking to be done.
Are you going to check out Ross Windward Mall on opening day?
The forthcoming Ross location in Windward Mall, Kaneohe is seemingly almost ready to go. The signage is up, and the receiving area in the back is ready.
Once open, this location will complete the Thanos-like collection of Infinity Gems aka Ross Stores in the major Oahu shopping venues of:
We hit up Safeway this morning for last minute necessities.
Still had water
Who knew peaches were a hurricane staple?
Besides the peaches will go bad so how about food that will last longer? Like these cotton candy Twinkies?
Or these Cookie Monster cookies?
If water is not your thing, there’s always wine in a can.
Hey, just trying to bring some levity during this waiting time…
Preparations for the oncoming Hurricane Lane continue, but it looks like Whole Foods in Kailua is ready. Boarded up windows and sandbags are in place, and they’re still open for the time being.
Not sure when this happened but Ba-Le, a mainstay in Kailua for decades, is now closed. The storefront now looks like this.
From its days in Don Quijote then moving down to Hekili Street, this franchise provided affordable and tasty Vietnamese sandwiches and other dishes. I loved their iced coffee ratcheted up caffeine levels. Sadly, the owners decided to move on and out of Hawaii (so I hear), but hopefully, this gap is quickly filled. The Pig and the Lady (or Piggy Smalls) would fit nicely in this lineup of boutique shops…
