ALIʻI KAI

In Ali’i Kai, all the streets are named for flowers. The name translates loosely to rulers of the shore district. I have always loved the juxtaposition of the sweetness of the flowered street names and the power of the neighborhood’s name - it perfectly reflects the vibe. From an outsider’s perspective, the neighborhood can appear a little worn, rough around the edges, sketchy in places. But to me it’s the best of Hawaiian life - neighbors laughing and drinking beers in the carport after a day of fishing, boxes of mango passed over the fence, bike rides to the beach, morning chats with aunties on their walks, pakalana blooming in the early sunshine, kids laughing as they walk to school. The air is plumeria sweet and ocean salty, it’s cool and quiet in the mornings and loud and hot in the afternoons. It’s vibrant, rich in aloha, and as mix plate as it gets. I didn’t grow up in this neighborhood but I’m thankful to be here now.
