Henry J. Kaiser was big on this rock. He dreamed up the Hilton Hawaiian
Village which has grown to be one of the largest Hotel complex in the world.
He also came up with Hawaii Kai which is an ambitious residential
development in East Oahu.

When we were kids, we used to see these little runabouts on the streets. We
used to play a game where we'd count the ones we saw. It's kind of a
deathtrap but what a fun way to go!
