Onehunga

Day 217, Monday 26 March 2018

I met a friend in Onehunga for coffee this morning. I commented that the main street of Onehunga had not changed substantially for many years, despite being quite close to the central city and with house prices having increased so much. He told me that substantial redevelopment of the area was planned to start soon.

One of the businesses in Onehunga which I greatly value is the Hard to Find Bookshop, a second-hand bookshop which rambles over many levels in a dilapidated building. I found a book there today I’ve been looking for. I fear this bookshop will have no place in a transformed suburb.
