Everything’s perfect with those Auckland systems, nothing to see here

- I contacted Auckland Airport through its Facebook on Tuesday over the matter in my previous post, and got an immediate reply from someone monitoring its social media.

Bypass Auckland when you can
- Jack Yan
- It’s a shame I had to write this to Auckland Airport today (salutation and closing omitted): I’d like you guys to know that on Monday night, your inter-terminal bus never came.

Five Boroughs - welcome to the neighbourhood
- Iona Pannett
- Another neighbourhood eatery for me, joining the excellent Ortega, Mt Victoria Chippery and deli all along Marjoribanks Street. A welcome addition to the culinary offering around Mt Vic.

My favourite Wellington buildings - Spinks Cottage
- Iona Pannett
- This lovely cottage on Dixon Street, Te Aro, is located close to the house that I was brought up in. An attractive companion to the historic church, I'm pleased that a proposal a few years ago to lift it up and include a modern addition failed.

Shanghai, 1987 v. 2013
- Jack Yan
- Originally on my Tumblog, but the graphic wouldn’t fit properly with the template. Amazing. There’s an entire generation who will have no concept of Shanghai being a city without skyscrapers.

Harcourts - Court says no to demolition
- Iona Pannett
- Great news today that the Environment Court has for the second time said no to demolishing the Harcourts building on Lambton Quay. The decision just made public essentially has vindicated the Council position: that our District Plan sets a high bar for demolishing heritage buildings and that in this case, the bar was not reached. Interestingly, the Court also found no fundamental conflict between the operation of the Building and Resource Management Acts and found that leaving the building standing would not fundamentally compromise public safety.
