Social housing?
- WCC Watch
- PHIL REID/The Dominion Post Now the reason I’ve been motivated to write something new for WCC Watch after months of inactivity is the disgraceful news that an 88 year old pensioner has been found dead in his Newtown Park Flat.

WOP: let’s hear it for the Floyd
- The Wellingtonista
- I have clearly timed career moves badly, because in the hungry wait for Wellington on a Plate I was unemployed and spent large parts of the day dreaming about where and what I would eat, but now it’s on, I have a temporary job and it’s not in the CBD.

Snow in Cuba
- The Wellingtonista
- You might not have noticed, but it’s pretty cold in Wellington right now. In fact, let us be the very first people to tell you: it’s snowing in some parts. Woah! Now we have dispensed with the usual sarcasm, please enjoy this beautiful video by Ro Tierney of the snow in Cuba Mall. Snow on Cuba Mall in central Wellington (HD) from Ro Tierney on Vimeo.

Bus drivers, cyclists swap points of view
- Newswire.co.nz
- CRAIG Bush now knows what it’s like to have a 12-tonne bus bearing down on him on the road. He’s usually the one driving the bus, but in a road-awareness workshop in Kilbirnie he got to swap the safety of his driver’s seat for a cycle saddle. “I am used to having my rear vision mirrors,” he says. “Not being able to see cars until they were right behind me was intimidating.”

All your beers are belong to us
- The Wellingtonista
- It used to be that if you wanted a good selection of independent and craft beers, your options were limited: Malthouse, perhaps Bar Bodega back in the day, or a bus out to Newtown for Bar Edward.
