Fourth of July Kailua Parade Is ON!
Christine Crosby has volunteered to coordinate a Beach Access entry in this year's Kailua parade. If you'd like to participate, please call her at 780-4555 or email her at: lanikai@gmail.com
Last year was a lot of fun, but I just don't have the time to put together a float and organize everything... so I'm really happy when people like Christine take up the cause and keep it going! I hope you will too, in whatever way you can.
BTW, kind of funny that one of the people trying to save the Kailua fireworks show happens to be the son of the people who put up the gate on L'Orange Place. They and others who live on "private" beachside lanes don't want anyone walking down their roads to see those fireworks!
In fact, many people will have to take their chances walking long distances on unsafe Kalaheo Avenue to find an open public access. I just met an older man this weekend who told me he got "clipped" by a passing car's mirror because there is so little space to walk on the side of the road -- about half a foot in spots. It won't surprise me if someone gets hit trying to go see the fireworks because of the gates situation.
