Inside Honolulu headed over at about 10 a.m. and found that the sidewalks, particularly on the makai side of Beretania Street at Old Stadium Park, were totally clear. One homeless person slept in a makeshift tent near the Moiliili baseball field.
It was a stark difference from how things were even a month ago, when tents and coolers and other belongings lined the road in both locations before possessions were impounded Jan. 10 and again Jan. 19.
Here’s a slideshow of photos we snapped this morning:
What’s not immediately clear from walking along the park is what happened to the people who used to be there. Did they go into homeless shelters? Did they just move to a different park?
We’ll try to get answers to those questions soon.
