Hi all! Mainlanders here and we’ll be in Maui for election night. Where are some places you’d recommend to watch results roll in? Thank you!

Not looking to spark any arguments... I have already cast my vote in the upcoming election.

I am wondering what this subreddit thinks about the existing Council and those seeking to upset them in the upcoming election. Just tell us who you support and a couple reasons why... Hoping that it will be more than I dislike my choice less! LOL

Personally, I support the candidates who believe that the private sector should be allowed to provide the good and services that we as a community want... Essentially the Chamber of Commerce slate of Council candidates:

Lee, Sugimura, Kama, Cook, U'u-Hodgins, Pele, and Acquintas.

I do not support the two members of Council who will be returned to their seats by acclamation. That definitely is a problem with our current residency district requirement.

We recently had a post , that showed pictures of a building in Lahaina overlooking the ocean titled "Tranquility" , we had a report stating that we shouldn't allow the pictures as it may promote people posting more similar content.

We understand that some of these images can have various impacts on different people, as such, would you like to see them?

Who does sho repairs now on Maui? "If the shoe fits" doesn't do it anymore.

Heard a rumor it closed. Best (only?) Barbecue joint on the island.

Any intel?

What is being developed across the street from Kihei Surfside & Mana Kai Maui?

Anybody knows who sells roof racks for jk on island?

When I was driving by King K HS with my wife and baby, a group of kids, walking down the sidewalk, looked at me as I was passing by and yelled "Ching Chung!"

I know racists are everywhere, but as someone who had to deal with bullies growing up, I'm angry, hurt and frustrated that this still happens.

Not sure if I'm allowed to podt this here but I'm just curious if anyone knows anything?

So apparently there was a body offshore out by Kaupo last Friday. It sounds like they weren't able to recover any remains. Does anyone know what's going on? Are there any missing persons reports?

OK so like I stay wondering about this for years, especially since I just don't eat from there anymore mostly cuz of pic related, partly cuz there's better out there. Just like..

How???

How are they still open? Who is going there and keeping them in business? Are they a front for something that's keeping them afloat? Who the hell is paying 80 bucks for a 16 pc meal for their family? Why would you when there's so many other better and more-affordable options than this?

So many questions in my head.

I know they're the only one on the island which is probably why they're doing these prices. I'm sure the owner knows if people are wanting it bad enough they'll (probably) pay out the nose for it.

Just been so curious for so long.

I've found that the some of the best food I've found on Maui comes from various people I know that just sell homemade food on the side.

Personally, I've got the following dealers:

• a pasta lady
• a dumpling lady
• a kimchee lady
• a gimbap lady
• a bagel guy
• a snack lady (taro chips, snack mixes)

Some of the best food I've found on the island comes from my dealers and I'm always meeting up with them weekly for my pickups. Happy to share my contacts and curious if you've got your own dealers.
