Why Honolulu, Hawaii might be annoying:

    One of the US military's greatest disasters, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, occurred here (December 7, 1941).
    Oddly, it is not one of the four US capitals without an interstate highway.
    The merged City and County of Honolulu includes the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands between Ni'ihau and Midway, so the city technically stretches for over 2,000 miles.
    It is the site of the only royal palace on US soil.
    The statue of King Kamehameha I here has European features.
    It has 26 sister cities, which is overkill.
    A season of 'The Real World' was set here (1999).
    The cost of living here is 70% higher than in the continental US.

Why Honolulu, Hawaii might not be annoying:

    It has a very equable climate, with an all-time low temperature of 53 F and high of 95 F.
    Its beaches are popular with swimmers and surfers.
    It attracts 5 million tourists a year.
    Aloha Stadium has hosted the NFL Pro Bowl since 1980.
    It is the largest US city where minorities are a majority (56% Asian).
