Quaggs Icecream Parlour . Manhattans. shoprite in Ponsonby road, K Rd night market in the carpark behind Rendells, they used to get so many people there, they had to close it down because it used to sway, had a stall there too.

Picasso night club, all the Chinese takeaway places in Greys Ave plus the shady dealings that went on there.

I remember the popcorn dispenser at the bus terminal that had salted popcorn., back then I think that was the first for Auckland.

Was the International market behind Smith & Caugheys where all the new boutique shops are now, used to be stalls for the horses way back when?

Stones shoe shop K Rd. I used to work there, would wrap shoes in brown wrapping paper all nice and tidy. The fish and chip shop in K rd was the best on a friday night .The milk bar across the road for lunch and a ciggie

nternational market was on Queen St next to Smith a Caugheys, and then there were a couple of shops next to the market, then the Arcade

I've just remembered another shop - the corner shop across the road from the Civic Theatre that used to sell REAL fur jackets, stoles etc.

The fur shop was called Stern's Furs. I worked there from 1964 - 1965.
