Maybe it will make people realize that there is more to life than overpriced luxury crap, so that a place like Waikiki can actually reconsider it's desire to turn itself into a big mall for label whores.... Maybe not, but this bad economy is certainly putting some of this stuff in check for the time being. Doesn't the Ala Moana center have that shit covered already ? Can't they just make Waikiki about the beach and the beauty of Hawaii ? When I think of Waikiki, SHOPPING is the last thing I think about doing, with that beautiful beach and view of Diamond Head right there. Hopefully this economic downturn will slow some of this "progress" down for the time being, and people will get to check out what's left of the marketplace.
