Famous/infamous bad boy 80's metal band Motley Crue just received the 2,301st Star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
This had me thinking of the possibility for Hawaii to have our own "Walk of Fame" of local celebrities and entertainers.
Of course the sidewalks of Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki would be the first place most would point to having it. Other locations worth considering could be the shoreline "boardwalk" of the soon-to-be redeveloped Kaka`ako waterfront. Also downtown. An important factor worth further discussion.
Perhaps instead of a star, embed the shape of a Hibiscus (the state flower) or a poi pounder (cultural) as the symbol. Many other possible symbols also worth further discussion.
We have many local celebrities, both past and present who would (likely) immediately receive Honors to Hawaii's own "Walk of Fame". Here's just a few of the many...
... and the list goes on and on.
This could quite possibly be one of the cheapest (initially and outright) new tourist attractions to add to our state. It would also be a wonderful way to pay tribute and honor our own celebrities and those who have made Hawaii famous.
Waddaya' think?!
