The streets of downtown Wellington

In the middle of the city there's a place where it seems all the emo kids, skateboarders and other youthful types hang out, kicking footballs about and scaring old ladies (I'm not really up on the demographics or politics of it ...) Lately, there's been a big To Do about it because despite much protest and campaigning, the City Council voted to turn it from a pedestrian mall into a bus lane!

The video below is an emo ode to the demise of Manners Mall, but the reason I'm sharing it here is because it gives my far-flung family and friends a chance to see what it's like on the streets of Wellington - you'll see the famous Go Wellington buses, Lambton Quay and various other bits and pieces. It's also pretty funny in places, so hoping you enjoy it!!



Happy Sunday!
