“LOST” landed in Kaimuki this morning, at St. Patrick Catholic Church on Waialae Avenue. The parking lot was staged with shiny BMWs and Mercedes (and a couple of black stretch limousines) with California plates. And as an unusually large number of extras arrived, all dressed in black, it became clear they were there to film [...]

Mark your calendars and brace your palates: the annual “Waikiki Spam Jam” is returning on May 3, 2008.
