The low sun of a winter Wednesday fell on the Exchange and the warehouse precinct this week. David Loughrey visited an area struggling with the labour pains of rebirth and found decay, renewal and the failings of a city.
A strangely popular Dunedin Facebook site is collecting the memories of a small southern city. David Loughrey meets the collector.
Dunedin's $2 shops and bargain outlets dot the city's retail area, home to a bounty of often plastic forms moulded into objects weird, wonderful and sometimes insane. Some are all those things at once but all are cheap. David Loughrey took some coins and found a world of products that ranged from evil to incomprehensible.
It was winter in Dunedin this week. It was cold. It rained. David Loughrey took the opportunity to walk the streets as the mercury dropped to 4degC, and ponder the effect on a city young and old.
