Lahaina Halloween
October 02, 2009 | 10:09 AM

As part Hawaiian myself, I fail to see how having one night reserved for people dressing up in costumes is gonna hurt the "Historical Integrity" of the Lahaina Historic District. CRC can't exactly claim that having a keiki parade is legit, yet deny Adults. But then again, given the current climate, sometimes, you need to compromise abit in order to make everyone happy.

A fair compromise would be that in order to shut down Front Street for Halloween, you can't enter "The Zone" unless you maintain a certain level of decency. Last year, I recall seeing a guy in a penis outfit, a woman with a really furry Breast/Vagina combo, some Doctors wheeling around a stretcher with a sex blow-up doll, and one guy who I later found out wears the same damn costume EVERY SINGLE YEAR (A thong, toolbelt, and a hardhat with a sticker proclaiming "Have you had a hand job today?" stuffed into his 300lb+++++ frame).

I think the CRC needs to at least offer a fair compromise instead of hiding behind the whole "Cultural" shield.

And can't the editor link to the "Halloween Haters" article via this article? It's 2009, Wikipedia has been wiki-linking to other articles for what, years now?
