Central city rebuild appreciation post.

Around 20 years ago the central city was my stomping ground. Many a good night spent there.

I thought we had seen the best of it but last night I took the family to the new stadium for the first time and just wow!

The central city is amazing. It was great for kids. Plenty of parking and everything was so close.

Also The bar scene looks epic and I almost wish I was 20 again to explore it.

The pop up and artsy culture vibe is just so cool.

And of course Chch people you are the best, all so friendly and grounded.

The earthquake sucked, we lost so much; but having the central city stadium and well thought out rebuild is an all right commiseration package I guess.
