@ Dave – ha…who knew that the wienermobile might cause controversy in Hawaii.
I wish Hawaii would regulate banners and homemade signs too. When I visited Molokai a couple of years ago, the island was littered with signs against a potential development. They were so bad that they actually made me feel uncomfortable and really unwelcomed to the island. That’s just one example.
“I wish Hawaii would regulate banners and homemade signs too.”
So do I! It’s just a bunch of trash as far as I am concerned.
