Moderator Post Would anyone be interested in a "Getting to know you" pinned post?

Given a few of the recent posts, would anyone be interested in a dedicated pinned post where people from the Nelson (and Tasman) region can do a little spiel about themselves in the hopes of finding some friends and/or a date?

Hey folks,
I've looked through the Nelson Environment Centre ReUse Shop and Habitat for Humanity, but cannot find any. Does anyone know where I might find a couple of these ~69mm approx. screw in bungs?

Thanks in advance 👍

Did anyone else witness the incident on Trafalgar St on Monday?

Upvotes

I’m posting anon because I don’t want to interfere with any potential investigation and because I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this; I’m sorry if it’s not, but I’m a bit stuck.

Early on Monday afternoon, I witnessed an assault on Trafalgar St. It was totally unprovoked and happened right in front of me.

I’m not looking for anyone to identify anyone involved, or discuss the details here, I’m really just wondering whether anyone else witnessed what happened? I’ve been quite affected by what I saw and I think it would help to know I wasn’t the only person who witnessed it.

I’m also wondering whether there are any avenues for witnesses to talk about these kinds of incidents? I’m sure there’ll be people out there who think I’m being dramatic or that it wasn’t that bad, but this is a first for me. Im finding it harder to shake than I expected. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🌻

Help Does anyone know this jewellery maker?

Last hope to replace this lost pendant or find a similar one. I bought this from the big jewellery shop on the corner in the centre of Nelson in 1987. The back is a sun in silver on bone. It was made by a local jeweller but I don’t know his name. I’m so sad to have lost it.

Anyone moved from a big city to Nelson?

Upvotes

Looking at moving back to NZ after a decade in Aus and thinking about starting out in Nelson. I’m a bit nervous about how small it is considering just the suburb I’m living in Aus has a bigger population than the entire Nelson region, it will be a big change.

This isn’t a question for everyone, hoping to hear from those who have lived in big cities before moving to NZ to hear how the change was for them.

Edit: mid 30s, 2 kids, work in construction
