Continue reading →: CF Cotter & Co Building Still StandingI was standing at the cordon fence (as I do a lot these days), and suddenly I realised I could see this building and that it was still there. I definitely did a double-take and was then quite relieved to see it, though it’s looking rather sad and lonely…

Continue reading →: The George Hotel Cooking for a Cause at The ColomboFor the last few weeks the chefs from The George Hotel have been doing cooking demonstrations at The Colombo shopping centre on Colombo Street. I finally got down there today to check things out. Two of the MasterChef contestants (Matt and Dave) were there this morning cooking Hereford Beef. Not…

Continue reading →: Enterprise Precinct & Innovation Campus Build UnderwayThis is the site of what will be EPIC or the Enterprise Precinct & Innovation Campus – which will be home to a number of IT companies who were displaced due to the earthquakes. According to the EPIC website the building process may be complete as early as August. The…

Continue reading →: Waters Edge Apartments Demolition in FerrymeadI went down at lunchtime and checked out the demolition of this apartment complex. It was too badly damaged from the earthquakes to repair, so has had to come down. It has not been a popular building as many think it’s not suitable to its environment (it has rather…

Continue reading →: Hoyts 8 Cinema DemolishedI got a bit of a shock when I drove down Moorhouse Ave today and saw that Hoyts 8 had been demolished. I used to go here a lot as I used to live about 10 minutes drive from it. Sometimes I’d be bored on a Sunday and decide at…

He was kind enough to pose for me – but he got me to put on a high viz jacket for the photos. It was only after I…

Continue reading →: Upshot Coffee on Bridle Path RoadThis is Upshot Coffee on Bridle Path Road which now operates out of a shipping container (they are located inside the Heathcote Riding School). I noticed the chairs out on the path today as I walked past and smiled when I saw the little table which is an old primary…

Continue reading →: Trees in the Les Mills Car Park, Central CityDespite all the devastation in the CBD, these trees (located in the car park at Les Mills in the city) have not only survived but look to be very green and healthy. Take a look at the end of the brick wall – it’s a little jagged!

Continue reading →: Pride of MadeiraI had originally mistaken this plant for Buddleja Davidii (Butterfly Bush), but I’ve been told it is actually Pride of Madeira. You can see it flowering all over the hill and sea-side suburbs of Christchurch. I’ve been amazed at how they replicate all over the garden and in great numbers –…

Continue reading →: ‘Why is this real not that’ signSpotted in Latimer Square. I have no idea what it is about (probably something deeply philosophical that I haven’t the time to think about!).

Continue reading →: Chairs at the Re-Start MallI walked through the re-start mall quite late and thought the chairs were looking quite sculptural on their own.
