Your Costco ID is not valid for TSA entry
HONOLULU (KHON2) — If you've been thinking your Costco membership card is good enough for airport security, think again. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently made it clear that Costco cards will not be accepted as valid identification when you're flying. In a post on their official Facebook page, TSA shared: Hawaiʻi residents: Get your REAL ID before May 7 'We love hotdogs & rotisserie chickens as much as the next person, but please stop telling people their Costco card counts as a REAL ID because it absolutely does not.' This statement comes after a lot of confusion from travelers, some of whom thought their Costco card, which has a gold star on it, would count as a REAL ID. Some of those who engaged with the TSA post even joked online, saying things like 'at least it has a STAR on it' or 'So, you're saying we should bring you a chicken?' But the truth is, a REAL ID is a special kind of ID that meets strict government standards. The REAL ID Act was passed in 2005, and it has taken nearly 20 years for all states to issue these you want to fly domestically, you'll need either a REAL ID-compliant driver's license, a state-issued ID or another acceptable form of ID like a passport. You can get a REAL ID by visiting your state's driver's license office and providing documents like your full name, birth date, Social Security number, proof of address and legal status. You can click to learn more about state issued identification cards and for information on obtaining a Hawaii State driver's license.

Decades-old Qwest Tower taken down near Denver, could make way for proposed Portillo's restaurant
Qwest Tower taken down in Littleton, could make way for Portillo's Qwest Tower taken down in Littleton, could make way for Portillo's Qwest Tower taken down in Littleton, could make way for Portillo's A historic tower in Colorado was torn down on Wednesday to make way for the development of a proposed shopping center. Demolition crews took down the 55-year-old Qwest Tower in Littleton to make way for the next phase of construction of the Mineral Place development. Mantooth Company Colorado-based Mantooth Company said the 130-foot-tall tower dates back to 1970. It was used as a drying tower by Gates Rubber and their tire manufacturing plant near South Broadway and County Line Road. The building was later converted into an office complex by the communications company Qwest before it was acquired by Lumen Technologies. The tower was used to test optical fiber. The tower toppling is part of removing about 800,000 square feet of buildings. The first phase of redevelopment is already underway. Work on the infrastructure for the upcoming Costco Warehouse is happening. The City of Littleton said an agreement between the city and the developer estimates that Costco could be ready to open next year. Another big box retailer is yet to be determined. Mantooth Company said there will also be nine smaller stores and a 370-unit luxury apartment community. Mantooth Company The city has concept plans on its website for a proposed Portillo's restaurant. City of Littleton The popular Chicago-area eatery would be located off West Mineral Avenue and South Elati Street. City of Littleton Portillo's also has a proposed location in Denver. The restaurant features Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, burgers, cheese fries, and chocolate cake.
