A L O H A From Honolulu!
Never forget that
feeling fantastic is a
massive magnet for
summoning more magic.
Curtis Tyrone Jones
In 1907, Honolulu High School
was renamed for President William McKinley.
And in 1908 the school was moved to this
new building facing Thomas Square.
Upon completion of a newer
(and current) facility
further towards Diamond Head on King St,
McKinley HS moved there in 1923.
This building became
Linekona Elementary School.
Linekona is Hawaiian For "Lincoln"
These were Territorial days, and the
US Territorial government & resident
Americans solidified their cultural and
political connections to the USA.
This is an example of
Romanesque architecture,
Colonial Revival architecture,

Interestingly, the apparent stone
face is actually cunningly worked
cement!
The Road To Success
is dotted with many

I waved to you outside
but then I realized it
was just one of those
inflatable parking lot gorillas.
