Ma, I’m Going to Tower Records to Buy a CD
There was something in the air in the 1990s. If you were an impressionable teenager during that time, you felt it. The world itself was changing. Teenagers in the 1990s remember when there used to be an East Germany and West Germany and Berlin was split in two. They watched the disintegration of the Soviet Union on the news and observed the entire world having to reorient itself to the fall of a major world power almost overnight.
Elevate Your Style With Structured Jackets
There is one item of clothing that can automatically make anyone look effortlessly cool: the structured jacket. The transformation from sloppy to streamlined can be almost instantaneous. It works for men and women, young and old. If properly fitted, a structured jacket will refine your look, no matter your size or style.

"Local Kine" Sherberts and Sorbets

A Two-Block Gastronomic Delight
I live in downtown Honolulu and can walk to some of the best restaurants on Oahu in less than fifteen minutes. I know how lucky I am because I used to live in an area that the locals lovingly call the "West Side." If you live on the West Side, you have to drive to seek out tasty food. In downtown Honolulu, awesome local restaurants are a short stroll away.
The 15-Hour Adoption
I never wanted a pet. Sure, they were cute and I liked to give a passing scratch on the head to a dog or cat but I never wanted to own a pet. Not until my brother got a dog. After dog-sitting that little guy, I understood why little boys and girls would cry when their parents would give them a puppy for their birthday.
