Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Gudrun Gisela,
Thanks. I'm happy she is still there. I met my first husband beneath her feet...

I guess if nothing else a place of beauty (hopefully) and calm to reflect before you head out into the very unrestful CBD. Anglicans will go there; people who wish to remember people from CTV will have a quiet place.
Is the Square War memorial still standing? I haven't even thought to look, and that's a significant place for me.

The first beam being lifted.
Looking at this again, it's a very "Brave New World" pic with the empty IRD building in the background (and if you were able to see behind the yellow crane the levelled CTV site). Says more about Christchurch and what is happening than solely that the cathedral is being raised -- clever Gudrun.

Truly the only one building that peaked my interest post quake so far in this city.
For big buildings, yes. I like the sheds and containers around town too.

Good one Goodie! Those builders look like they know they are doing an historic thing. I love that cardboard cathedral. It represents the new ways of doing life that we need here.

My bad. I retract that hasty comment I read this story in the print press today and came to a different conclusion: Govt will tell the CCC by April 30 who will pay what.
Though my concern is that we being told, not consulted, asked or involved in the substantive public planning decisions for the whole city.

2015 hey? A bid to get the government over the hump for the 2014 election; National cannot afford for Christchurch people to revolt before the general election. So they are delaying telling ratepayers what we will have to pay to fund the ruinous anchor projects deemed by Cera and the Cabinet to be essential.

I am trying to juggle this one: my quake-refugee ma arrives back in town that day for a short visit. Now if you could move it to Saturday...

So ... the human -size lamson tube will take the faithful straight to heaven -- with a stop-off at Ballantynes' sale -- presumably?
