What is one of my favorite things about Orchid Land?

Neighbors! We have some of the greatest people living in Orchid Land! Verle down on Napua, the Walkers on 39th (now those are great dog owners!), and of course the Shaka guy and his wife that walk down Orchid Land Drive almost every morning. And who is this new gentleman? I always see him with his umbrella heading down to Wiki Wiki…whoops, there is his name now…Umbrella guy! Know a character? Tell me about them…
