Have you been past the old theatre lately?
It was a spectacle that would have thrilled anyone’s inner three-year-old.
And, on Tuesday afternoon, some actual three and two-year-olds were lucky enough to be among those looking on as a pair of gigantic orange demolition excavators tore into the northern wall of Hamilton’s Founders Theatre in the manner of ravenous monsters.

Are there roads you don't like to drive on in the Waikato?
Once a year Jeff Penno removes drawing pins from a wall map pinpointing serious and fatal crashes his crews have attended, and starts again.
It’s a poignant reminder that not all our roads are up to the standard of the Waikato Expressway - which is so safe the Waikato road policing manager doesn’t need to deploy his team there regularly.
