Neon lights shine over a mall on Keeaumoku Street last night, with with a host of adult clubs. In the background stand condominiums.
Many residents complain about problems associated with the businesses nearby.
Like many people who live within shouting distance of the nightspots around the Hawaii Convention Center, Carey Lane doesn't need an alarm clock to tell him when it's 4 a.m. That's when all the drunks seem to hit the streets at once. Count him among those in favor of Mayor Jeremy Harris' plan to create a special design district in the neighborhood devoid of strip clubs, hostess bars and other adult businesses. There's a lot of that type of establishment here. I think it's just been concentrated too much.
