Flat names trickling in
It’s amazing. I’m the grateful recipient of a growing treasure trove of stories, information and photos about past named flats in Dunedin – the stories are mostly coming arriving from alumni of the 1960s and 1970s and you’ll see a few posts below where I’ve started listing these names, and the addresses if I have them). There’s a few from the 1990s too.

Do you remember the early 1990s in Dunedin?
The Castle, The Church (did it burn down?) and The Palms (did it have a potted palm out the front?), The Herm (575 Castle St – full of trampers), Bevvie Hills (Queen St), Erebus (Cumberland Street),
… and there are 813 members of the facebook group!

There’s been a lot of activitiy on the group over the last week or so – lots of photos being tagged and a few new comments attached to photos of named flats: Stagger Inn, Pink Box, The Moist Box, The Manor, to name a few.
Check out the photo collection and see if any flats you recognise are there.
I’m writing a book about the named flats of Dunedin, so any information that people have, particularly about when and why flats were named would be AWESOME.
On Thursday (24.09.09) I had a chat with Kathryn Ryan on Radio NZ about the project, check it out here.

Exhibtion at OUSA art Week 2009
The exhibition is up and I’m really really very chuffed with how it looks. The site is bang on and it is looking the business. Enormous gratitude to my dear friend Victoria McIntosh for her exhibition mounting expertise. Check her work out at Lure on Lower Stuart St, Dunedin. Big thanks to Gordon for helping install the letter box.
Exhibtion at OUSA art Week 2009
There was quite a lot of interest from passers by as we gradually put the exhibition up, it was fantastic to stop and have a chat with students to talk about the project.
The official opening is 5pm tomorrow night in The Link, University of Otago.
BTW : 754 members of the FB group today. It’ll be interesting to see if numbers increase at all over exhibition week.
