Mahalo for that link. It will be interesting to see in the years ahead, if the Punahou Circle apartments end up in the National Register.It's also amusing that the Dunham/Obama apartment looks straight-on at Kapiolani Medical Center from the lanai/balcony, at an intersection that's really pretty: Beretania & Punahou. The open grass areas adjacent to Central Union Church, also visible from the Dunham apartment, already make up a pretty potential park under the shade of monkeypod trees. HIPAA laws are a newer variable here when it comes to Presidential birthplaces. I'll bet that the folks at Kapiolani, with Obama's permission, would love to put up a commemorative plaque. And Punahou School is also only 3 blocks away. Us folks in Hawaii are just embarassedly proud of our "Favorite Son." I fully expect that an Obama Presidential Library will be in Chicago. But Hawaii will also want to celebrate this President. The U of Hawaii East-West Center will likely commemorate his parents in some way too. I'll just "stay tuned" I guess.
