I think the plaque belongs on that Kalanianole Hwy property cited in his “birth announcement” posted in the Honolulu newspaper....

Maybe 1960s apartment buildings are “historic” in Hawaii. There’s been a lot of rebuilding in the last 40+ years!

Being on the National Register of Historic Places doesn’t mean it’s a museum or is open to visitors. It just means the building is marked with a sign, and it can’t be knocked down or renovated without lots of Federal paperwork.

I am involved in the Historic Preservation movement, and this is a cute, but WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY premature idea, considering the Obama is likely to get recalled before long.

Why has there been a lot of rebuilding? Because land prices skyrocketed, and people knocked down old dumps and built resorts. Also, 1960’s construction wasn’t up to today’s storm/earthquake codes, and didn’t include many features modern buyers want.
