Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily. Today on The Spinoff: Why an Auckland kava lounge’s online store was abruptly shut down, what makes the night markets’ Cook Island doughnuts so beloved and 49 things Christchurch drivers could do with their extra 49 seconds.
“One of Taupiri maunga’s nearest neighbours is a motorway service centre dominated by McDonald’s and Taco Bell. It’s a place for commuters to stop during their travels to cool down with ice creams from the gas station in the summer, or a quick feed in the middle of a long trip. Many passing through probably won’t think much about the mountain looming in the background of the Waikato Expressway, but the service centre that bears its name provides respite all the same. In the shadow of Taupiri maunga, shades of healing can be found everywhere.”
