A-ight peeps. If you've been reading this here blog lately, you know where today's WIH is gonna be from. If not, I'm gonna be mean and make you read da back issues. Muhahaha! Nah, let's just say it's not on Oahu. 
I'm hoping that this one won't be too hard. And, as history has told us in the past, it won't be. I'd like to be the first to congratulate the 1st or 2nd guesser below as they'll probably be the one to get it. *sigh*
P.S. Congratumalations to hemajang for winning last week!

ITO indeed. Congrats, kuya! Easy to recognize corrugated siding on the building.
June 3rd, 2009 at 12:58 am
Darn! Too late. Yup, looks like ITO
kuya.d, you missed my Dad's back yard.
I'll just throw in Nani Mau Gardens just so you know I know BI!
Where's Hilo Aquarium?
June 3rd, 2009 at 3:54 am
Wow...how CRUEL...someone wen stick one flag in the poor turtles back...does it even know that thing is stuck in there?
June 3rd, 2009 at 4:50 am
i think kuya got the whole hilo covered.

@CW-out by 4 miles beach (I know BI, too;)
June 3rd, 2009 at 6:05 am
Hey Kuya. You get um on the first try. ITO Hilo Airport. I can see that 3 lava spears looking thingy that SUPPOSED to represent lava trees but looks more like.... um...... some part of a male anatomy?????
Bwahahahaha
Das what I get for going on the roof to take weather pics to send to Malika Dudley for her Sunrise on KGMB broadcast.
Shoots brah, I was sleeping when you posted this.
June 3rd, 2009 at 6:44 am
Good Morning Ed!
Kuya must have got it!
June 3rd, 2009 at 7:19 am
Auright kuya!
@Ynaku -
you too funny!
So, question ... why is the call letters for the Hilo Airport ITO?
June 3rd, 2009 at 7:25 am
Kuya got it covered. Easy one this week...even I knew 'em!
June 3rd, 2009 at 7:39 am
all i know is that it's on the big island!
June 3rd, 2009 at 7:44 am
Hey Naks,
I saw a Hilo shot that Malika showed this morning. Was that yours?
ITO is some guy who had something to do with the Hilo airport? I think it's the ONLY airport with call letters named after a person.
June 3rd, 2009 at 7:46 am
Hey CW, dat was me. Now I busted
Took it from the roof of our office. Nice day today
June 3rd, 2009 at 7:47 am
My guess would have been Kona Airport, but Hilo sounds even better!
@NeedaHobby: I think it's named ITO because of some past director, or worker, or something, at the Hilo airport that made some kind of big contribution to it years and years ago. His last name was Ito.
June 3rd, 2009 at 8:03 am
Coconut Willy, I also think Kahului Airport, Maui, was designated as OGG in honor of aviation legend, and Lihue native, Capt. Bertram J. Hogg, and the Kapalua Maui airport code name JHM stands for John Henry Magoon, who was president of Hawaiian Airlines when that airline developed the Kapalua airport.
...a little 50th state civil history haha
June 3rd, 2009 at 8:29 am
You guys left out the zoo!
I went a couple years back and never even know you had one till then. Loved all the peacocks strutting all over the place and your white tiger Namaste.
June 3rd, 2009 at 8:31 am
@ kuya - Volcano Winery is pretty cool! We missed it on the drive into Hilo but stopped on the drive back to Kona. Ended up shipping some back to Oahu. Yum!
June 3rd, 2009 at 8:34 am
Kuya definitely got it. It's the Hilo Airport. Can tell by the a-frame building in the background.
June 3rd, 2009 at 9:06 am
thanks for the trivia! i always wondered about the OGG and ITO.
June 3rd, 2009 at 9:14 am
Clueless on this one and congrats to kuya.d, assuming he got it right. They landscape and maintain that area beautifully but that loud, aloha-tacky honu sculpture thing sticks out like a sore thumb.
June 3rd, 2009 at 10:24 am
sheesh, why neva go kona, ed?
i haven't been to hilo airport in years... not that i would have noticed that honu with a flag in its back... so ODD! (oops, sorry, ed!) only time i'm in hilo is when i drive through from kona to make my visit to big island candies! hee hee...

June 3rd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Nah! Just keeding, no such thing - I think @matt is referring to Seaside Restaurant and their fish ponds, or the Ke Ana Fishpond at 4 miles beach park.
June 3rd, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Okay folks, covered most of the Hilo sites, please check um out when you guys visit the east side of the Big I.

June 3rd, 2009 at 2:54 pm
kuya, what you mean? Get one aquarium in Hilo. Bayfront next to Cafe Pestos. Shucks, I forget the name of that place.
June 3rd, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Icepond?
June 3rd, 2009 at 3:48 pm
@Ynaku - you talking about that really cool exhibit sponsored by NOAA or some government agency. We took some students for field trip there in the past. Was free, and if you visit Hilo, check it out, it's easy to miss.

Thanks for the trivia and Hilo lessons
June 3rd, 2009 at 6:42 pm
@Lourdes - that wine you have is kinda sweet if I recall correctly. And I bet you just never found a grape based wine that suits you, get sooooo much out there...one day you'll find one you like.
June 3rd, 2009 at 6:49 pm
@kuya.d
maybe closed now, but I know used to have an aquarium out there. pretty sure it was out a little past 4 mile, but could have been a little closer to town. was really small, but was open to the public and everything. like I said, maybe closed now.
there's always the noaa thing over on bayfront now. they're open to the public and have fish tanks inside.
June 3rd, 2009 at 7:57 pm
@matt - thanks for the info. and that NOAA place is definitely pretty cool.
June 3rd, 2009 at 8:04 pm
@matt - was that Richardson Ocean Center? By 5 miles.
(Only in Hilo can you describe the beaches as 3 mile, 4 mile, 5 mile)
(And they are poor excuses for beaches)
June 3rd, 2009 at 9:40 pm
