If you can give us any leads on the following, call or e-mail us:

One reader is curious about a "concrete pit with a huge geared base" near a place called "Bryan's Mountain House" in the Kawailoa Forest Preserve. Who was Bryan? What is the pit? A radar site? A gun emplacement? A docking platform for Martian invasion?

A "spooky place" called "13 Steps" that's similar to Morgan's Corner.

What's the difference between Vienna sausages and Vienna fingers, and will the Viennese take credit for either?

A carnival that used to ply on the North Shore side on or near the Mokuleia Polo Field, and some abandoned rides apparently rotting away in the bushes up there.

The whereabouts of "horse hitching posts" that used to grace the sidewalk in front of the old Hawaiian Electric Building.

The whereabouts of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan. There's another another expedition gearing up to find them, using a University of Hawaii ship, when we can't even find aircraft that disappear between here and Molokai on a sunny day.

"Bunkers" on Wiliwilinui Ridge and waaaay up on the hillside just north of Kualoa Ranch. We're talking heavy-duty concrete WWII-type bunkers, not golf-course sand traps.

White coral "gateposts" in Nanakuli, just past Nanaikapono Elementary School, near the Haleakala Avenue stoplight.

A "green light standing on a hill amongst green trees and bushes after you pass the St. Stephen's Diocesian Center going down the hill toward Castle Junction." (We suspect that this is a white light in the trees to illuminate the runway truck ramp. But sightings of mystery lights are always interesting.)

Whatever it is about Kakaako that makes the brainiacs in state government think that building a "world-class" aquarium there will make the tourist trade come back. This kind of nitwittery is all foam and no beer. Guess again, bureacracy-boy!
