he Crypt Nightclub and the other one just around the corner, god used to go there all the time, but cant remember the name now, you had to walk downstairs to the dance floor
there was a chinese jewellery shop around the crner from the civic - welleslley street. And wasn't there a pizza place on the corner? they had amazing jewellery in there I seem to remember, the night club was next door to them.
I remember that shop, used to stand outside on cold nights after clubbing at the Crypt imagining being warm with them on, Lol then we'd all about 20 or so of us dressed to the nines in gatsby gears stroll on down to vulcan lane for a bit before heading to the white lady if not the cafe mall on commerce street for burgers and milkshakes. Then taxi home. Was that the Club 21 Snapper? There was another night club behind queen street on same side, a short dead end street. How I managed to get in them underaged I don't know.
Rendells, George courts, Mckenzies then it changed to Woolworths, international market Quaggs ice cream palour across the road, farmers free bus on Pitt street remember the funny mirrors in farmers?
I think it was Debbie Dorday who had Burgundys. Used to advertise on TV ? Yeah definately Debbie Dorday, cause I used to work next door at NZ Post, back in the old Post Bank days, could have been Marcus Craig but I thought he was at Ace of Clubs, did he open another place downtown years later?
Harmony House when it was in Queen st, it always had great stuff in the window, The milkbar that was next to it.
We lived in Browns Bay Greville Road, which was the last house on that st, then miles of bush behind it, now its the motorway
