crossroad of Iwilei and Kuwili roads.

This warehouse was built in 1932, accordingly to RC.As if Rose's business returned on the straight virtute path, The building is used today by … The Salvation Army as a store and a depositiry !

Since the show, the loading entrance and exit changed. The dockport was removed in one and the last was simply deleted.
7/ Mrs Chase house
I jumped in 'head first' for this one and was proud to have found it before realising... of course, that people more talented than me had been there before!

Accordingly to RC, the 4910 Kahala avenue House (colonial style ?) was built in 1967 and was demolished as early as... 1991.
This home is only … 100 yards from the King Kamehameha Club Beach bar !!

Very surprising that this house was so easily accessible from the Wai-alae canal... But what is the security doing?
8/ Rose's black Limo final destination
And this is my little easter egg.
At the end of the story, Tracy, using only her courage, drives Rose's big limousine off the road (with her little VW?). The latter will finish its race in a tree below the road.

What seems to be a military depot area in the background is the first hint.

The scene could not be shot in the dense residential area of Kahala. Moreover, it was necessary to find a sufficient slope to 'create' the accident.
I was able to find this 'obscure location' thanks to the HD version on blu-ray which gives more in depth details. Unfortuately i am only able to show DVD's captions here.
Others hints : two distinctive storey builidings in the background ; a long covered place and a white warehouse with distinctive ventilation towers (three can be clearly seen in the HD version).

The scene was filmed on Diamond Head road, very close to Hawaii Army National Guards recruiting facilities.

The slope is roughly 10 feet here. the area was more wooded. As many trees seem to have been cut down. I can only make a guess for the exact location.
