'Move over, Auckland' - Christchurch up there as 'the capital of cool'

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch’s economic development agency says it’s “very happy” with the country’s inaugural Sail Grand Prix (SailGP) last week, despite feedback about a lack of a windfall for Lyttelton businesses over the two days of racing.

Australian men’s lifestyle website, Man Of Many, declared: “Move over, Auckland; Christchurch is giving you a run for your money as New Zealand’s capital of cool.” Read the full story from reporter Steven Walton here and tell us if you agree Christchurch is the "capital of cool" in the comments below (and why or why not).
