Earlier this week, a familiar face was selling newspapers near Castle Medical Center. It was none other than recuperated George Ligman. Though he was mostly sitting, it was good to see George out once again.

Waiting for George Ligman.

According to the Star Advertiser, newspaper hawker, George Ligman, is doing better after being hit by a vehicle. In his absence, his chair has been adorned with signs of support from the community.

Additionally, financial donations for George’s medical costs are being accepted at all branches of American Savings Bank and First Hawaiian Bank.

Saddening news to hear about a truck hitting long-time newspaper vendor, George Ligman. Never knew his name until this accident, but George has been out there everyday, all day selling the Advertiser for years.

As I drove by his usual spot, there was his empty chair and repair crews were fixing damage caused by the vehicle.

So there’s been a gradual degradation of telephone service by Hawaiian Telcom over the past week. Here’s what you get when calling their service support line.

Umm, it’s past Friday, February 18, 2011. What’s up Hawaiian Telcom?

After three decades of business in the Kailua area, today was the last day for Kailua’s Don Quijote. Here are some pictures.

Thanks for the memories, Don Quijote.

Here’s a panorama of the people-empty aisles of Don Quixote in Kailua.

This was taken last week, and some of the products were cleared out. I’m sure the store is even emptier with its closure slated for this week.
