Are you having a mysterious unexplained desire to return to Princeville?  There may be forces at work that you are not even consciously aware of that are working to bring Princeville and the North Shore of Kauai to the attention of a wider "audience".

Last night we watched on our DVR the latest episode of "The Good Wife" that originally aired on Tuesday, Feb 15^th.   For you who don't follow the series, it is primarily about the wife of a Chicago politician.  While he is always on the campaign trail, she is busy bringing home the bacon at one of the city's top law firms.  In this episode, a Chicago attorney asks a movie studio attorney how he keeps such a good tan.  He replied:  "I have 3 acres in Princeville, Kauai - if you ever want to get away, here's my card."  And then they went on with the plot which ironically turned on the issue of paid advertising placement of products in the movies -  in this case the most recent model of a car.   Hmm, could it be that the mention of Princeville itself was a paid placement?  Or could it be the yearnings of a writer to return to the place where he was most creative and productive?  These are things to ponder on a breezy morning after here in Princeville. 

There will be more reminders of Kauai's North Shore coming to you soon.  This week's top box office movie "Just Go With It" with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston was filmed in part in areas of Kilauea and Secret Beach.  In April, the movie "Soul Surfer" will be released which is based on the story of Bethany Hamilton, the Princeville teen surfer who lost her arm in a shark attack.  On May 20^th, look for the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides", the latest Johnny Depp adventure that was actually filmed in Hanalei (not the Caribbean!).  And later this year, George Clooney's latest movie "The Descendants" will be released, which was also filmed on Kauai's North Shore in the summer of 2010. 

So, if you are thinking that "3 Acres" or any other Princeville property sounds pretty enticing right now, check out some of the listings below.  Or if you have another dream property in mind, just give us a call!
