A project was started a few months ago to get our City Mall area on Cashel St reopened in time for Cup & Show week, which starts tomorrow. A plan was drawn up to convert shipping containers into stores which could be located on the sites where so many buildings in the area were demolished.
After some great efforts this new shopping area opened last weekend. Yesterday we went in to have a look, and I took a couple of photos. http://www.multi.net.nz/re-start/ It's nice to be able to walk down that street again but most of the stores aren't places I'd normally shop anyway. The highlight for me is having Ballantynes open - they're a premium department store and an iconic brand in this city. They are actually trading out of their normal building but it's not quite the same as part of their building had to be demolished.
