Back in the olden days when we last lived there for the second time (1967 to 1971) we lived in Waipahu on Kahuahale St. When we told people how to get to our house we quit using street names, just identified the landmark, like the green house, or the big tree.
To get to our house you had to turn off the highway into the edition on Kahuallii St, turn right on Kuhuanui St, Go down to Kuhuamo St, to Kuhuanui St, to our street. And I am not kidding! Only natives had any idea how to find us otherwise.
And no one uses North or South, it is Diamond head, Koko head, towards the ocean or towards the mountains. And GPS was a dream for the far future.
My dad drove exactly 10 miles to work, it took one hour every day, either way at anytime even close to work hours. Just behind our edition was pineapple fields and sugar cane fields. The fields are all covered in houses now I am sure.
