Here we see Pidgin being used on an advertisement inviting people to create music for a future party or event. This sign was located along a busy road and sometimes it’s difficult for drivers to actually read the sign. The Pidgin being used here is in large font so as to attract the locals on their commute. As this is a local community, it seems appropriate to use Pidgin.

This photo contains Pidgin, and was taken at Poke On Da Run in Pearl City. Not many tourists visit Pearl City, so Poke On Da Run seems to cater to the local demographic. They serve mostly local foods, and the Pidgin is used to contribute to this atmosphere. SM
