I am moving to Kaneohe next week from Los Angeles, California and my daughter lives in Honolulu. One thing I've noticed about drivers on the island of Oahu is that they are far more polite and considerate of others than those here on the mainland, especially in Los Angeles County. There is very little speeding, if any, far less tailgating, and few drivers cut in front of others in a rush to get to their destination. Every time I drive in downtown L.A. my blood pressure rises and I come home with a tension headache. It will be a refreshing relief to be able to drive like a normal human being and not have to worry about the unsafe antics of other crazy drivers such as we have here in California on a daily basis. Can't wait to make Kaneohe my new home. Thanks for an outstanding video!!!
No bring da mainland here tho
How are you enjoying living in Kaneohe. I grew up in So Cal (live in Colorado), and I spend lots of time in El Segundo as a consultant. My wife and I are a few years from retirement and have LOVED our visits to Hawaii. Also...we REALLY LOVE Kaneohe Pancake House! What are your impressions?
You're good at doing these presentations, like a professional. Would never think you're actually a real estate agent.
Oh wow! Thank you so much, but should I be more realtor-y so people call me to help them buy and sell houses? đ
@@mailagibson6787 Gotta work it in somehow, but without being too salesperson-like... Your content is good... like it could be picked up by TV or something.
I was stationed at Kaneohe Marine Corp Air Station and I loved the community
Lived on Kaneohe Bay for 6 year, one of my favorite places Iâve lived on the island.
Thanks Maila! I love Kaneâohe even though I live in Kaimuki/Moâiliâili! I went school at WCC, worked out in Kaneohe Bay photographing tourist with scuba gear on and some jet skis and canoe. Worked at Heâeia Elementary +A, went up Haiku stairs couple times, walk the old Pali road under the Pali Hwy bunch of times, many beach days at Kualoa and going out to Chinamans Hat. My moms side grew up in Kaâaâawa and we spent plenty weekends of my younger life there and hiking up to the bunker. Went hiking and camping in the back of Waiahole plenty before they closed access to the back of the valley. Awesome episode!!! â€
Wow! Such wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing.
Was living in Kaneohe for a few years , missing it very much , making me Homesick so many places too remember .â€â€â€
I lived on the island when I was a kid in the '60's and still remember my first view of Kaneohe from the Pali; stunning. I told my parents I wanted to live there. Took my wife there last year and told her this is the place I wanted to live when I was a kid, now she knows why. Great video, thanks for sharing. Mahalo.
When you know, you know. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome!
Nice to see an entire video highlighting Kaneohe. Home sweet home for me and proud of it.
God bless
Originally from Kaneohe 1947 in Halekou which in those days was all pasture land and dairies. Our back yard was what is now Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens which of couse didn't exist back then however, the pond was there and it was a real adventure for us keikis to hike to and explore. Miss those keiki days, my first 8 years in Halekou before moving and growing up in Kailua.
Stationed at Kaneohe 76-78. Beautiful!
My wife and I married in Kualoa ranch at Paliku garden. We come to visit family here during the holidays and always make a point to drop by. Kaneohe area is my favorite on the island.
This place looks like it feels like home. Itâs good to know Hawaii still has places like this(after seeing all the master plan communities.)
Oreo has the same personality as my cat Charlie. Same coloring too.
Haha! I looove Oreo.
And I agree with you. It definitely feels like Hawai'i.
You gone done it again. Excellent video. The chicken wing action in slow motion got me good. đ
My dream place to live đ One day I will be there with my family. đđŒ
Excellent review of such a beautiful area in Hawaii đŽ
Thank you!
I love the garden where we have picnic with the Kuolau in the background
đ
Excellent video. Thank you.
So good...thank you...â€
I grew up in Kaneâohe from the days of the Old Pali Hwy that wound through the spooky Nuâuanu forests and down the steep face of Konahuanui. My favorite memory was driving to UH up the Likelike Hwy in the mornings and enjoying the sight of the bright sunlight on the fluted face of the Koâolaus creating alternating vertical visions of bright sunlit greens and dark shadows. In my hanabadda days, Kaneâohe was a sleepy town with wooden sidewalks and Filipino barbershops, Kumuhula Kauâi Zuttermeister overseeing her Halau with a very young Noenoe beautifully demonstrating her motherâs instructions, running behind the mosquito truck in the cloud of DDT spewing out its back, flying kites in an open grassy field where Windward City SC now sits and reaching into the cold water of a barrel to pull out a block of tofu at the original Yoshimoto store. All gone now, replaced by crowds of people and bumper to bumper traffic. But thatâs progress I guess.
I was stationed at K-Bay in 1968-1970 LOVE it there - Would definitely move there if we could - but for now,m we visit the Island twice a year!
Beautiful dress. Great video. â€â€â€
oh my god it's so cloudy and austere, i will move to Kaneohe from Kapolei soon, amen
Kapolei - too much sun?
Hawaii is like Haven on earth
It really is.
Great Place⊠Aloha đ€đŸ
The wind hair struggle is real đŻ đ
Omg right?! It is what it is. Yasu asked, âAre you ok with this?â I was like, whatever.
Local girl style đŻ
I lived K twn (u know u fr K wen u ID Ktwn) & kahaluu over 50yrs, but still love listening to Great "Local" Content specially coming from 1 Cute local Sista like you Keep doin wut u do, Malama Ponođđ€
All of life is a moment in time and place. In 1976 our company held it's Christmas party at Haiku Gardens. I escorted Evelyn, our married job site secretary, 14 years my senior.
Joann Lau, our office secretary whom I had asked out ( she did not have her engagement ring on) showed up with her elongated professorial looking fiancee. A man who looked
ill at ease in social settings. Joann and I made eye contact and knew we were with the wrong person.
Down haiku rd. and across the Kam hwy is a street called Punalei Place. In 1984 a girl by the name of Caitlin Doughty would grow up on that street and eventually work with me
in the San Francisco Bay Area. She would go on to become a CZcams personality and write a book " SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES" and I'd be a character in it.
This illustrates the. incongruous nature of life.
Maila, Mahalo Nui Loa for the video and the bitter sweet memories of Kaneohe. (mostly sweet)
Aloha from my hawaiian alter ego; KIMO MAPUNAPUNA đŽ đŽ
Lived there for 3and1/2 years while in the marines
Cheeeee Molokai đ€đœ đș
Cheeee!
As a visitor to Kaneohe I was surprised by the large mall there and finding a parking space among hundreds or thousands of vehicles was a challenge. The mall that day had a great farmerâs market. I never got the vibe of small town, rather a suburban feel. Housing outrageously expensive but mediocre quality for our price range.
EVERYTHING Hawai'i is God's Country!
I'm from kaneohe I used to live on ihilani street across from Castle high I also have keneohe tattooed on my arm
Thatâs awesome! đ
3:51 I believe the pork thing . In my town in my country something similiae would happen to bikes
Awesome video! Where did you get your dress? Please tell me I can find it somewhere here on Oâahu!!
Thank you! Itâs from Always A-line.
@@mailagibson6787 mahalo! So happy I saw that they ship so I donât have to go to town. I donât do town lol!
Yay!
What would you say, percentage wise, would the average amount of cloudy/sunny days be in Kaneohe?
Great question! According to Google, it gets rain 1 out of 2 days. This explains why itâs so green when the rest of the island sees its most green months in the winter. Itâs not gloomy and cloudy for months on end like the Pacific Northwest. My experience with Kaneohe is that it has some of the most glorious, sunny mornings, but by the afternoon (for the most part) the clouds roll in. Plus, it loses full sun earlier than the rest of the island because of the Koâolau mountains. Short answer: if youâre a maximum sunshine type of person, itâs probably not going to be your favorite place to live.
I've been living in Kaneohe 3 yrs now and we love the cloudy and sunny days both. The clouds keep it cooler when other parts of the island are hot. But even with clouds, it's never cold, usually high 70s - high 80s. We like the variety of the weather and wouldn't want to be in Kapolei/Ewa area, too dry and hot for us.
Move anywhere other then eastside đ€đœ
People drive into Lake Champlain too.
Wow!
How did u manage to get food from Waihole Poi Factory with no line??? lol!
So, is everything that isn't Oahu an "outer island?"
âNeighborâ island would be more appropriate. Itâs a bad habit of us Oahu residents to call the neighbor islands outer islands đ
Bad habit. I gotta break it!
If only kaneohe people belive their mana would save them from danger from other mainland you know just respect its culture people with hawaiian born spirit even if nomore hawaiian still born with land cuz they born here you know
My wife and I are considering this place. I'm not so sure now with the recent events though. How far is this from the place that was destroyed? Thanks a lot!
I can tell you one island girl. Why you no speak pigeon????
Nobody shopping at target anymore after they went woke lmao
You should get a prize. I was wondering who, if anyone, would be the first to say this. đ
1 million tourists through Kailua, absolutely disgusting. I grew up there in the 80's and 90's when it was still more or less sleepy and to go back now its like a mini Waikiki.
Thanks Obama, lol.
This place absolutely isn't nothing compared to what my sister is telling me that the hospital and the homeless shelter isn't a nice place to look for help as she's trying to do right now June 2024!!!
Personally, my sister is an idiot for moving there with her little daughter and the fact that she's homeless too, and apparently the homeless shelter at this location has policies that are right next to the definition of communism and filled with homeless criminals who steals personal properties that belongs to others;
Now, do you think Hawaii is a nice place to live at, I don't think so;
This damn video is only an illusion
