but only true friends

will leave footprints in your heart."

For the one who brings the king down to his knees

And drives me crazy with her mystical power"

Some folks like to say that our Honolulu


is the 12th largest city in America.


They point out that the legal area of the City & County of Honolulu

includes

the entire island of Oahu

and the various Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.




If you consider the population of that area

then, yes,

we are the 12th largest city.



BUT



The U.S. Census calls the urban part of Oahu

i.e. Honolulu


a "census designated place"



that ranks 50th among American cities


with a 2009 population


of 375,571.*


Honolulu Town looks like a vest-pocket city,

tucked between green mountains

and the sea

and it is!


A city of neighborhoods,
districts,
and landmarks:
nature's as well as human-made.

All in a compact parcel of paradise.

(visitors please avoid and disregard the
less-than-lovely bits)

We are SO much more

than one of life's great beaches!



*NOT including the seabirds, Hawaiian Monk Seals,
or turtles
residing in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands.


Warmly, cloudia
