Painting the Reel
The old cinema in New Lynn is a furniture store, Redpaths. Over recent weeks, the outside has been spruced up, removing reminiscences of its cinematic past (decoration in the style of film strips) – but at least the reel remains. Like the rest of the sizable building, it is being painted red (as in REDpaths, I assume).
He is probably a painter in disguise!
That is one humongous reel!
