Last call for stories – flat names, the book
Last night I put out a last call for stories and photos that can be contributed to the book I’m writing about Dunedin’s named student flats.
There’s been a bit of a rush on photo tagging which is always good to see, and for me, it means I have a way of getting in touch with people who knew these flats and may have a tale to tell.
The flats tagged in the last 24 hours are: Pink Flat the Door, The Debacle, The Bach, The Cahnaging Rooms, The Dog Box, and Moe’s. Check out the photos on the Facebook Group /a24a5be7a6076556c8c2f16e5065bd40/reqs.php#!/group.php?gid=7181752690.
Good luck to those sitting exams – go well!
