#luckywelivehonolulu

Sure, we’re lucky to live in Hawaii, but if you live on Oahu, there’s so much more to the place than sunsets and beaches. From paiai delivered, to cool aloha wear, from Dave Shoji to gay marriage, here’s why we’re so fortunate to live in this city.

Life O Kai

Hawaii’s surrounded by more ocean than anywhere else on the planet and it offers us endless opportunities for fun.

Hawaii’s Most Endangered Places

The Historic Hawaii Foundation, the state Historic Preservation Division and HONOLULU Magazine compile an annual list of some of our state’s most endangered sites.
