"Boxing Day" Sales start this Sat!
The Christchurch inner city "Boxing Day" sales start this Sat the 12th Feb 2011. Numerous businesses have signed onto the idea, so hopefully it helps draw a few more people into town to support businesses which have been badly affected by the quakes. Sadly most of the severaly affected businesses have already closed or are unable to say when they'll reopen as their buildings are still cordoned off to the public. It's so weird walking through the inner city and looking at the rebuilding process or the many buildings behind fences or the holes left behind after demolition. It's so good to know that organisations have sprung up determined to fill these spaces with art or music or gardens. Some students from Lincoln university are greening the spaces with temporary gardens.
If you want to know more about this project. I think it's great and wish them all the best!
