The large building on the

Post'.

Sigh.... I'd seen reference to the Dominion Post recently. Didn't realise how
recent the merger had been, however.

OT trivia: my city still has two daily papers. Barely.

More-or-less OT trivia: fairly early on, The Evening Post was edited by
railfan's railfan Charles Rous-Marten.

As to your nice picture of Stewart Dawson's corner, I'm wondering how late the
tracks were installed leading straight to Customhouse Quay? No sign of them
here.

Oh, and yeah, that shot is north of mine. Towards the sun, y'know. You going
northern hemisphere on us?

Wellington frenzy? This is nothing. You should see the furious traffic and
esoterica at another group in the Ehrlich Empire, San Francisco Muni History.
