Well Carrie, the confusion could be if you don't spend much time over on the west side of the island, you're probably not up to date on the changes. So in case you do go to that side, here's the updates:
Captain Cook is now North Baja.
Keauhou has been changed to San Diego.
Kailua-Kona is officially Los Angeles.
Waikoloa Village changed its name to Portland.
Waimea is being changed to Seattle.
Waikii wants to be known as Las Vegas.
Other proposed changes are:
KOA (Kona Airport) to WLAX (West Los Angeles International)
Kawaihae dock will be Oakland SeaPort.
Queen K Hwy, changed to California 19.
Makalei Estates may get their wish and become Palms Springs.
Which means Alli Heights will be demanding to be called Beverly Hills.
Did see “Real California Happy Cows” signs at Parker Ranch
Although change is inevitable, I'm firmly against the west siders petition to add the Starbucks logo to the county emblem. And, although I can't confirm this, I heard they were going to require that all new home in the North Kona District to be stucco with red clay tile roofs. Does that means Macy’s will become a Nordstrom’s and HPM will sell out to Ikea? I know it will make those west side islanders feel at home.
