American coffee chain Starbucks closes in Nelson
There will be no more Frappucinos in the top of the south as Starbucks closes its doors after 15 years on Trafalgar Street. Landlord Gaire Thompson said he gave Starbucks a 100% rent reduction in April, but turned down their request to pay half the rent for up to a year. Will you miss Starbucks or are you glad it's gone?

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
