Beautiful spring day so a good chance for mollyanme to take a walk around the red zone north of the square ……….. wanted to check what’s gone (a lot) and what’s still there (not much) .

Hence a record blip today of some of the empty spaces I saw – better [url=large]ENLARGED[/url].

top left – Manchester St from Armagh St corner looking south

lower left – Colombo St from Peterborough St corner looking toward Manchester & Kilmore Sts

upper right – Town Hall and a space which used to be the Crowne Plaza/ParkRoyal looking through to Victoria Square from Kilmore Durham St corner

lower right – Radio Network building after implosion in Gloucester St, but there is no Grand Chancellor in the background, and the Westpac building is almost gone.

This [url=http://batchgeo.com/map/8c6146324b4e50ffdef0ede12791a2c5]June 2012 map shows the central city buildings that have been seriously affected by the earthquakes[/url]. The number of buildings actually demolished is significantly more than what this map shows.
