    No swimming – 15 wasted years

    • 23 Apr 2024
    • Wellington Scoop
    • Sixteen years ago, the Wellington city council said it didn’t want to have a large empty building site in Mt Cook. A year later it got what it didn’t want. And the large empty building site in Mt Cook has stayed empty for fifteen years. The prime site has been empty since the city council allowed the Boys Institute swimming pool to be demolished to make way for a supermarket. Only the street frontage remained.

    • The Wellingtonista
    • We all know that Wellington is a great place to take photos: its natural beauty, public art, lively street life and eclectic architecture all contribute to a visually stimulating city. The busy Flickr-ers of the Wellington Flickr group know this, and they've decided to take their best photos into the real world. "Online to On the Wall" opens at the Paramount Theatre tomorrow night at 6pm, and runs until the 28th of March.

    • 26 Aug 2008
    • Mt Victoria Residents Association
    • Good progress has been made with Go Wellington in an effort to resolve the issue of out-of-service buses using the Pirie Street bus tunnel.According to the Greater Wellington Council bylaw, only scheduled services that have been registered with the Council may use the tunnel. At a meeting convened by GWRC, Go Wellington acknowledged that there was an imperfect understanding of the rules by some drivers, and undertook to educate staff better.

• • This should be more popular: Chef's Cafe

    • 27 May 2008
    • The Wellingtonista
    • At the top of Cuba Street, opposite Fidel's and next to a sex shop is what appears to be a crappy little tea room named Chef's Cafe. You might think that they're going to try and sell you a pie and a custard square, but you couldn't be more wrong. See that little sandwich board outside that says "Takeaway Curry $10"? That's right, this is an Indian restaurant. And it's good. And it's insanely cheap*.

But those wishing the relive the glory days can do so over at YouTube, where petrolheads have uploaded a selection of choice clips. My favourite is "One

    Tattoo You Too

    • 4 Oct 2009
    • Eye of the Fish
    • And so, with a big hello to all the ReMax twitterers out there receiving our feed, we bring you the latest incarnation of the site where the Tattoo Museum was in Abel Smith St - yes, it is now proposed to be the Tattoo Apartment site. Interestingly, it is to be just 4 stories tall - way below the 9 stories that the tacky Orange apartments have achieved just across the street (next to the Southern Cross).

• • To Rail or not to Rail

    • 30 Jan 2008
    • Eye of the Fish
    • The Wellington urban class really wants light rail. And why wouldn’t they? Light rail is sexy transit…cruise smoothly, comfortably, and quickly to the local tiki bar; no more lurching starts and stops, no more endless waits behind four other buses boarding at the stop on Willis Street, no more fighting with cars for road space. And so there seems to be a grumbling undercurrent regarding the position of the Ngauranga-to-Airport strategic study report.

    • The Wellington City Council and the Wellington Road Policing Unit reckon no-one has complained about pedestrian safety at the intersections of Buckle, Taranaki and Arthur Sts, according to a Citylife article last week, “School sees red over drivers running lights”. Clearly Mt Cook School disagrees, as do a number of residents who have called both the Police and the Council about safety at the two major Buckle Street intersections near the school. More on this shortly…

    • Over the past couple of months I have been reviewing Malaysian restaurants all around Wellington for Malaysia Kitchen (full disclosure – I got refunded some of the costs). It’s time to share the reviews! A freezing southerly was blowing around Wellington when I met with a group of friends at Rasa Malaysia on Upper Cuba Street, pushing all thoughts of trying something new out of my mind. The weather meant I had to have my favourite laksa.

    Meeting The Ferret Bookshop — Verb Wellington

    • 12 Oct 2020
    • Verb Wellington
    • A lively interview with Terry and Aames from Wellington’s oldest second-hand bookstore, The Ferret. In this edition of the ‘Maggie Meets’ profile series for Verb Wellington, I catch up with Terry and Aames who run The Ferret Bookshop. Terry admitted early in the interview that he has a penchant for inefficiency, which allowed me to quickly pigeonhole him into the “second-hand bookshop owner” stereotype. The more I dive into his story the more I realise that the story of The Ferret is not a linear one. The Ferret Bookshop is one of the only Wellington bookshops surviving from the time it was established over 40 years. Since 1979 The Ferret Bookshop has had many homes nested in and around Cuba Street. According to its owner Terry, a couple of people in the book trade founded it, one of them a fellow named Rick who used to sit at the shop desk with a lit cigarette in hand and an ashtray in arm's reach. In 1988 Terry bought the business, which is now situated next to Loretta on Cuba Street.

• • Cycling advocates award Fellowship to improve community accountability

    • 11 Nov 2021
    • Cycle Wellington
    • Cycle Wellington has awarded the Alastair Smith Memorial Fellowship for 2021-22 to Jonathan Coppard. The Fellowship is dedicated to furthering the work of veteran Wellington cycling advocate, Alastair Smith, who passed away in November 2019. It has a value of $5000. Jonathan Coppard's project will improve the inclusivity and diversity of cycling advocacy. “Unfortunately for many decades now, Wellington's street environment has been so hostile to cyclists that only a few people feel able to ride bikes,” he says. “This has led to a situation where cycling activism is unrepresentative of the wider Wellington community. We need to do better.” “We are now starting to see a change in both the physical and cultural approach to streets. Bike lanes are changing the street environment so that more people feel able to ride a bike. It is essential that Cycle Wellington changes at the same time so that we are representative of the people we advocate for, and can contribute to the work required to address inequalities in Wellington.”

Within the Wellington CBD It includes the construction of a flyover at the Basin, two tunnels at The Terrace and Mt Victoria, a four-lane expressway across the city, the four-laning of Ruahine Street, and much more.

    WCC Revists Earlier Assessment Not to Provide RECYCLING WHEELIE BINS to Hobson St

    • 10 Nov 2012
    • Thorndon Residents Assocation
    • Recycling wheelie bins were introduced across the city in 2011; but not to the properties in Hobson St, situated on the Thorndon Flat. Residents from Hobson St recently re-approached the Council regarding the earlier assessment of their street as being not suited to Council supplied recycling wheelie bins. The early assessment had indicated that Hobson St had a high volume traffic flow (similar to Tinakori Rd), and that due to the road width there was potential to block access to emergency services.

    Kennett Brothers inducted into Mountain Bike Hall of Fame

    • 4 Aug 2018
    • Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park
    • The legendary Kennett Bro's have taken their rightful place in the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame! Their list of achievements covers everything from being a pioneer of the sport in NZ, competing on the world stage, publishing, thinking up and organizing events (the Karapoti Classic and Tour Aotearoa ring bell?!) and, of course, being the driving force behind the establishment of Makara Peak and its development over the 20 years since. From the get go, they have mixed mountain biking with a strong conservation ethos which now a common theme throughout NZ. They are a modest bunch - but the "Three Brothers" track name is a tip of the hat in their direction. That is the most they have let us do. Here is the write up: https://mmbhof.org/kennett_brothers/ Awesome work Paul, Simon and Jonathan!

    • Save the Basin Reserve!
    • Wellington architecture blog Eye Of The Fish has an interesting discussion on the Memorial Parkway, the strip of land in front of the War Memorial in Buckle Street that was intended by the last government as an extension of the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. Given the proximity of this area to the Basin Reserve, there's been some conjecture that the two projects would end up being linked by the transport planners. It's worth taking a look at both the original article and the comments that follow.

    Laying a campaign trail

    • 20 Aug 2010

    • I am afraid that I have become caught up in my electioneering – such that I have now committed myself to walking every street in the Southern Ward, dropping a calling card in every letter box, and talking in an open and friendly way to those fellow citizens who are out and about. Since I am largely a house husband at present and the boys are at school, my week-day mornings are pretty much free. So the map is a report back on progress so far.

    Fresh Finds for Freshers

    • Salient
    • When I first decided to make the move to Te Whanganui-ā-tara, my Wellington-native Dad was delighted. All his fond and foolish memories flooded into his mind’s eye as he recounted, “you know, I probably have a memory on every street corner of that place”. After three short years in this city, I already felt I could agree to his statement.
