Sumi and Keith recently moved from their beach front property to Ford Island. For you history buffs that’s where the airfield was located that was bombed in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The road leading to their house circles the airfield, to the left dilapidated hangers declared as historic monuments sit in the Hawaiian sun, windows shatters and rusting away.
I woke up early a couple mornings to take pictures of the old air tower. According to Keith it’s the most haunted building on the island.
Ford Island has these brand new and shiny Levitt Townesque homes within 200 yards of the decaying infrastructure of historical pearl harbor . Definitely a weird dichotomy and a reminder of the fast pace of life and death, Darwinism on a rapidly changing island state.
