Aloha! My family vacations to the area two weeks every year and we are finally moving there. I got a job on MCBH. We want to live in Kailua. Could you guys give me some pointers about the elementary and middle schools, which schools you like and which schools you don’t and reasons. Are there any areas that wouldn’t be good to live with small children? Thanks for any help you can give us!

Is there anywhere in Kailua to make reservations for a nice dinner on thanking?

They claim they don't want to post political things but continue to post political things to spread their right wing propaganda

Just a reminder that everyone's favorite "find my lost dog" page also promotes right wing talking points about immigrants voting and snippets of the weekend's Kool Kristian Kollaberation with some millionaire preacher. I'm not saying to unfollow because you might need help to find your dog, but nobody should take Daniel Cassler's clown page as an actual news source. It's the local version of Project 2025.

Stay vigilant my fellow Kailua residents.

Nice looking old bike on the corner of Keolu and Kamahele for the last few days. License number is 44023.

I haven’t looked in some time, but when I checked recently, it seems like there are very few AB&Bs available in Kailua anymore. Were new regulations put in place (or previous refs more stringently enforced) so that fewer units are now available? I’d love to stay in Kailua on my next visit, but mostly what is offered on AB&B are hotel rooms in Waikiki. What is the story?

Not sure if it's possible to get to the Target dumpsters, but if you can, they are throwing out a massive amount of food all because of a 2-hour power failure.

Hello. I'll be in Kailua for a couple weeks to help a friend get through some medical issues and was hoping to find someone(s) to hit around with as a break in the day. I'll be in town 08-20 January. My friend lives on Keolu and I've visited several times over the decades so I'm comfortable getting around town and even into Kaneohe but don't really want to go into Honolulu. I'm an upper level 3.5, 54 y/o male. Prefer singles but I moved to Tucson a few years ago and now play more doubles than I ever thought possible. I can share my USTA link if that helps.

If this isn't the right place to ask, please feel free to point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Looking for 1-2hr full body 👻newwwwavez

i was trying to find a decal or something for the car and realized i hadn’t seen the sign in ages and got me wondering what the origin/history of it was. anyone know?

I was raised in Kailua and used to hike the mountain/hills above Enchanted Lake and the Mic-PAC Country Club as a kid. There used to be a huge boulder that was positioned perfectly on the hillside to take out a few homes on Iana Street (but thankfully never did). On a return visit last time, I noticed that the rock is gone. I presume the City & County finally got around to safely removing the beast?

Have never been to Oahu before. Staying in Kailua for a few nights. Would love any recommendations for where we should go for snorkelling without having to go on a boat to get there, any restaurants that are delish, and any experiences/sights that are “must-see”. Thank you so much!

Any local birders know of a great bird tour/guide service in town or on the island? Thank you for any insight. And unrelated... any restaurant recommendations for date night or casual spot with an omnivore and a vegan?
