Honolulu, HI - 95816 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

The post office is on the ground floor of the brick building. It's on the main through-way of the city. The post office is in the Kaimuki neighborhood of Honolulu.

"In the 19th century the area was a farm of King Kalakaua, where ostriches roamed wild over the mountain side. It later became the site of a carnation farm for funeral flowers. Now a mix of residential area with a small business district (mainly restaurants and service industries), it is located in the urbanized Honolulu region near Kahala and Diamond Head.

Kaimuki is an ancient Hawaiian name. Its name comes from Ka imu ki meaning "The ti root oven" in the Hawaiian language. The area was known for the many ovens used to bake roots of ki Cordyline fruticosa, or ti, into a sweet food similar to candy.

Kaimuki's main street is Waialae Avenue, pronounced /wa''la'/. Several restaurants and stores are located on this street, as well as Kaimuki District Park.

Pu‘u o Kaimuki aka “Kaimuki Hill” is the predominant feature of the area and has been a reservoir, a telegraph station, an observatory, and now a park." (visit link)

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
