Small Town Life

Wailuku is the county seat for Maui County (which includes not only the island of Maui, but also Lana'i and Molokai).  There's a bit of a renaissance going on downtown right now as streets are being repaved, architecture has been touched-up, trees are being planted, etc. There's even a "festival" on the first Friday evening of each month...which is basically just a small, 2-block long, street fair: food booths, shop owners displaying their goods open-house style, and a band or two (and of course, lots of good food).  But all said, Wailuku is still a small town.  I stood on a bridge over the road into town one Sunday night, hoping to catch a car driving by for the tail lights.  I think I stood there 15 minutes waiting for that one car.  I love that.
