Upper Hutt Lights Up
Upper Hutt has a new night time display object.
It's funny but I mentioned what should happen last year ago on Neighbourly and finally, maybe someone took notice.
Its all about the tallest object in Upper Hutt - no its not a building in the CBD or a tree in Trentham Memorial Park - it's an old but proud chimney.
It is sited within the area that houses Brewtown and so several weeks ago the tall, narrow, ugly by day, concrete smokestack took on a night-time glamour all of its own with large neon lighting proclaiming BREWTOWN running almost from the top to near the bottom.
And guess what - it can change colours too: multi and singularily. A colour or colours to suit the occasion.
Tonight it is purple.
Just maybe it could be symbol of a brighter future for Upper Hutt.
