It is lovely watching Cashel Street come back to life after the earthquake, but I really missed the shipping container mall that served as the central shopping area for many years. Even so, Cashel Street will be beautiful once fully finished. I hope there will...More
After the devastation of the 2011 earthquakes which saw several fatalities on Cashel St, the rebuild is slowly taking shape. Anchored by the beautifully restored Bridge of Remembrance at one end and Ballantynes Department Store in the middle, Cashel now features most of the high...More
Stuff to see by the Avon river, Bridge of Remembrance, walking street, sidewalk vendors, street art, earthquake damages, and container resturants.
