Spotted at Don Quijote
No, I didn’t spot a Farmers Insurance Hawaii advertisement at the Kailua Don Quijote. Instead, I saw some of their strange items for sale. Things like this…
Don Quijote Kailua
The Daiei store in Kailua finally changed their name over to Don Quijote. While they were under Don Quijote ownership, the outside sign still said Daiei. As of Friday, June 15, the new Don Quijote sign is up (and employees have new red Don Quijote shirts).And nothing portrays the eclectic cultural mix of foods at […]

What’s NOT Popping at Windward Mall?

Yeah, I can’t believe it either, and I didn’t realize they were there for 10 years. No matter your reason for being […]
Spotted Eye Eye Signs in Kailua
