Hawaii: Hon­olulu Weekly — On The Cover: “While the cit­i­zens of Ingle­wood, Calif., voted to keep Wal-Mart out of its city lim­its, in Hawaii, the retail Tro­jan horse entered Honolulu’s gates largely unde­terred. “There wasn’t very much con­cern from the actual com­mu­nity. It was clear it was going to hap­pen from the very begin­ning”, said John Breinich, chair­man of the Ala Moana/Kaka’ako Neigh­bor­hood Board. How did the big-box bud­get giant, nor­mally a city-fringe sta­ple, come to erect a beige mono­lith on 10.5 acres smack-dab in the mid­dle of Hon­olulu?” And we are talk­ing right in the mid­dle. It’s traf­fic armageddon.
