The Worst Starbucks in America?
Is this the worst Starbucks in America? So thinks Fast Company. It definitely has an odd vibe atypical of Starbucks.
Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any terrible Oahu locations… or maybe I can…
Gregg Hammer Imitates Danielle Tucker
Must be professional courtesy otherwise why hasn’t Gregg Hammer imitated the excellent traffic reporter, Danielle Tucker? Just listen to this combination of Gregg mimicking Danielle letting loose her personal commentary about the traffic situations.
Can You Get Enough of #LieHagi?
I don’t know why or when but local weather dude (and surfer), Guy Hagi, has become an online meme under the tag of #liehagi. Where did this start???
There’s a conspiracy theory out there that Guy himself is the origin of #liehagi to up his Twitter cred.
The Center Stage of Darkness
Ala Moana Center continues its facelift and major renovations; this time working on the roof above Center Stage. I’m not exactly sure what’s going on, but the natural sunlight that formerly bathed Center Stage is now eclipsed by this temporary roof.

While ambient light still leaks in from the periphery, it’s just not enough lighting down on stage, casting it in darkness.

Along with the darker ambiance, there’s scaffolding everywhere to support the roof, giving an industrial vibe.

Just for comparison sakes, here’s a picture of the roofline looking towards Nordstrom with the covering protecting shoppers on the (working) escalators.

Here’s a picture looking the opposite direction, towards Center Stage and its roof under repair.

By the holiday season, I may not recognize portions of Ala Moana!
Signs of Hawaii: Keep Refrigeated
Okay, okay, I’ll ultimately overlook these gaffes because I don’t want to be banned from Liliha Bakery Coco Puffs. And I know they’re overwhelmed getting their new location fully operational. But the mistakes on their boxes? Yikes.
Here’s their box.

Look closer at the instructions to keep “refrigeated.”

Maybe I should leave a message at lilihabakeryhawaii.com. Oh wait, or is that lilihabakeerykawaii.com??? Ow, mistakes in the Assurance of Quality section.

But both you and I know, it’s what’s in the box that really matters.
Go for the Music
Go watch the Fifty Shades of Grey movie for the music featuring Beyonce with a remake of Crazy in Love.

The Changing Face of Ala Moana
Ugh, I can’t say this is a positive change for Ala Moana, but I guess it is necessary. With all the construction and expansion of the shopping center and nearby buildings, safety for the shoppers is paramount, and all of this helps protect you and me.

But where is this in Ala Moana? Can you guess?
