Gore Way is a street in Manoa and
Bush Lane is in Punchbowl.
Each street is mercifully short. Gore Way only has a couple of houses on it! Both are in older neighborhoods where the street name likely came from the family that originally lived there.
At least that might be the case with Gore Way, which appears on maps as old as the '20s. City archives don't have any information on how Gore Way came to be named. Unless someone got gored there.
Bush Lane, now, that's another story. This street was named in honor of John E. Bush, the part-Hawaiian governor of Kauai a century or so ago. He was also publisher of the Hawaiian-language newspaper Ka Leo O Ka Lahui.
OK, it isn't Nimitz Highway, but it's still cool to be remembered in a place where people park cars.
Just in case you're wondering, we don't know of any Nader streets in Hawaii.
