    Re: This day in Hawai'i's history...

    On Aug. 24, 1927, a $250,000 memorial dedicated to the memory of Hawai'i's WWI casualties was opened on Oahu. What was its name?

        Pretty much garanz your ohana knows my ohana. My father and grandparents are from Maui and lived there at that time as well. It was a very small place so I'm sure they knew or were related to each other somehow. Don't ask me who, I not telling. I still like shoot my mout off.

          Yeah, it really is pathetic that this memorial has been allowed to deteriorate to the sorry condition that it's in now. Small kid time, my parents would take me there to dip my toes after a hot day at the zoo.

            On March 19, 1904, the Waikiki Aquarium opens. It is the 3rd US aquarium and the 12th in the world. What company built it, and who owned that company?

                  Speaking of the HRT&L, it began street car service on Aug. 31, 1901 (replacing horses and buggies) and had 20,000 riders on its first day of service. By 1910, 9 million riders paid a fare of a nickle to ride the line, which extended from where to what "suburbs"? HRT&L bought out a competitor in January, 1903. What was the name of that competitor?

                    The routes ran from Kalihi to Kaimuki,Waikiki and Manoa. HRT&L bought out Hawaiian Tramways in 1903.

                      On May 4, 1990, 65 residents out of Milolii's (Big Island) 125 residents travelled to Honolulu to protest the building of a $700 million resort in their village. What was the name of that resort that never got built? The proposed plans called for 3 hotels, over 1,000 rooms and a marina.

                        The answer is "Hawaiian Riviera". Mahalo ke akua this thing ran out of steam before it was built! Miloli'i is called the last true Hawaiian fishing village, and the residents there are proud of their heritage and the legends that surround its survival in the past.

                          On January 25, 1917, 'Ainahau, the 12-acre Waikiki home of Archibald Cleghorn, is sold and divided into house lots. In 1921, the house of James Pratt, which was built on that estate land, burns down. What is eventually built in its place?

                            The building that now exists on that site is the Sheraton Princess Kai'ulani Hotel.
