IMO, this page’s title should be spelled “Hawaii”, not “Hawaiʻi” with an ʻokina. Although the Hawaiian-language spelling is used locally, “Hawaii” without the ʻokina is still the most commonly accepted English-language spelling globally, by a massive margin. (We also don’t spell Mexico “México”.) Plus, the Hawaiian state government doesn’t include the ʻokina in official materials (like in the Seal of Hawaii), and it appears only inconsistently on its website.

The maui sugar plantation was shut down last year.

Ooh... :3 Some of these more unusual places of Hawaii sound like they would make good stories to write about. ^_^

Kaho'olawe sounds like it could make a good creepypasta. :O Or maybe even Ni'ihau. ^^;

Trust us, there's a ton of creepy stories based around the islands, the various goings on, and the Hawaiian pantheon (e.g. Pele) - there's even a series of books.
