Where In Hawaii is Edward Sugimoto? - December 23, 2009
By World Wide Ed
OK, OK... as we approach Christmas (just two days away!), the holiday spirit is finally hitting me. So even though I was supposed to join the rest of y'all on holiday hiatus, I thought I'd entertain the few of you who are still checking in with this Christmasy-themed Where In Hawaii. Enjoy!
Last week, bruddah kuya.d crept up to 3rd place on da leadahboard by correctly guessing Toshi's Delicatessen. That gives him back to back wins and puts him in position to be the first for the turkey. Congrats dewz!
This week, we got some animation ack-shon goin' on again. It's a festive Christmas tree from bottom to top. Too bad for you, I cropped out most of the background. Muhahahaha!
Attempting another multi-point photo might be hard with less people reading, but let's give it a go shall we? Here's how we'll divvy up the points this week:
* General Location: 1 point
* Name of closest business: 1 point
* Name of closest cross streets: 1 point each (3 points possible)

good one kuya. It actually does look like it could be the Ward area. If it is, I'll say the cross streets could be Auahi/Kamakee/Ward/Ala Moana Blvd
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:48 am
Merry Christmas Ed!
I have no idea????
December 23rd, 2009 at 9:21 am
Howzit WWE! Sorry for being AWOL. Congrats to kuya.d and all the recent winners!
I going guess dat tree is in Kahala Mall by California Pizza Kitchen. but I really dunno, as usual.
Happy Holidays WWE, WWE wifey, and everybodies in the WWE network! Have a joyous holiday season!
December 23rd, 2009 at 9:31 am
Pretty sure kuya is right about Ward/Kaka'ako Kitchen area. I walk past there every day, but now I really have to look at the tree to make sure.
December 23rd, 2009 at 10:32 am
cheez, i dunno. i want to say ward also.
um....auahi, ward, kamakee, ala moana.
if it's at where i think it is at ward, the closest food place is one of those stands by the parking. so it might be mr. egg roll (or old spaghetti factory above).
December 23rd, 2009 at 10:35 am
shoot..i think kuya is right.
kakaako kitchen
