Kailua, My Kind of Town

Don Chapman, the former 3 Dot columnist for the Advertiser, Author and long time Editor of Midweek used the phrase a lot. "Kailua, my kind of town." Personally, I think it's a thought that rolls regularly through most Kailua folks minds and I think it's ok to share. So, if you have a little over six minutes you can spare, I'll show you just part of why Kailua is my kind of town.

i wouldn't mind living there ... but it'll not happen in this lifetime

[rabbett]

Never say never....where there is a will there is always a way!

Is The Shack still in Kailua? Man I remember these burgers even after almost 10 years since I've been there :)

[rabbett]

Yup and as tasty as ever!

kailua is my home town and its getting destroyed by development and over population. its a sad day to realize that kailua will never be the same small town where everyone knows everyone and bradahs look out for one another. i guess nothing lasts forever.

[rabbett]

Bruddah, I feel your pain but I think "destroyed" is too strong a word. Old timers still enjoy the flavor of the town and there is still a small kine feel. Sometimes think it is better to look at all the positives than the negatives. Kailua is still Kailua - a nice schmall kine coastal town with mostly good folks.

Now, if only the Hope Chapel paddlers would go down to the beach in a church bus instead of individually all taking their SUV's we'd have more parking in the beach parks.

Unfortunately, people learn to be angery and racist from parents and friends. No one is born racist or angery. Think about that!!! Its all conditioning from childhood. If you know that then there is no point to being racist. Everyone is born the same way with the same guts and organs inside. We all live on the same planet get over it!

@discountninjuh That kind of anti white racism is what made my childhood a fucking hell in kailua. I wanted to say how much I loved this place, but discountninjuh's fucking comment made me remember how intolerant and hateful the "bruddahs" are. Fuck all the locals who hate whites. You just made me love new england even more and not want to go back to paradise. Suck my Haole cock.

[AlexanderRaccoon]

[pistolpeat32]

I had the good fortune to live on this beach for about a year back in 91-92, on government per diem too.

Can anyone tell me if Kailua has changed much since those days?
