Continue reading →: A Lunchtime Walk down Victoria StreetI took a walk down Victoria Street today – starting from near the Salisbury Street intersection. I was wondering how much of the Forsyth Barr building could be seen (most of it) and whether the rubble left over the Crown Plaza demolition was still there (yes, still quite a bit).…

Continue reading →: Well we’re not short of Parking Spaces!This sign has been put up on an empty lot that’s on the corner of Welles and Manchester Streets. It is indeed true that we have a lot of parking in the centre city now, though this sign is in no way official! Someone with a satirical sense of humour…

It’s so nice to see a colourful building that has been renovated. In fact, I had quite a joyful…
