Hi Koss! Thank you for taking us for a walk around town. There’s a difference I see but the street names are the same. I remember the night life was always packed. After work we use to go for a drink before we caught the last train back to Porirua.. I was only a teenager at the time (moepi) 😂😂 but the older girls would take me there.. I like your Boss Lane sweater.. Stay safe and God bless ❤❤❤
Thank you Faye yes the street names are the same but the vibe I think was better back in the old days lol hope all is good with you guys cheers for dropping in much alofas 😊❤❤
Wow flashbacks of doom!!!. Cried inside to see one of my favourite childhood places is the city council building. Eyeguy 😂 Mid city was like where us feabots sorted the men from the boys playing games like street fighter and mortal kombat. Iykyk The old georgie pie opposite maccas, many nights on top of the breeze building watching the streets from above Is Tandys music store still there in manners? Rip to the fallen soldiers mike the juggler ,blanket man 🖤💛🖤💛 Most things look more modern but it's same same Embassy movies was the imax before they had imax.

Great vid kos ..brings back a load of memories..some good some bad. Starts off at the st george htl...spent many hours at scribblers/ dragons bar. Manners st still seems odd every time i go back. Was crazy as manners mall...good and bad memories. I still remember when the oaks was the oaks tavern before clubs..used to have mostly rock and metal bands..( was a slaves spot for a while if you know what i mean ). Courntey place is a different world between day night for sure. Remember when it had the old asian commodities and other back of shop chinese and indian stores before all the clubs moved in. Used to be some crazy old pubs down that way that got knocked down in the 80s . The late mid 90s really changed welly..some good some bad. Great to see it as always.
@@kosican5147 I came here to get clean and sober in 2020 so have only known what's here now! And I only came from Carterton in the Wairarapa!🤣 Was in my own little out of it space too many years and never left much. Now I won't leave!😏😂 Quite trippy when you were saying what was where back in the day! Sounds like it was a funky little capital!😍 Thanx for the vid!🙌😎🙏
KINGS THEATRE FOR ME , My Nana, NANA BARBER , from Tonks Avenue , was a Cleaner at that theater and I got to go to the movies there as a kid , many times , for free because of her . 1960s ❤ things were good then ❤ love to nz ❤LOVE CUBA ST TONKS AVE ❤
Love the videos bro,agree with the comment about memories some good some bad! I was a 90s nightlife candidate🤣Am a lucky escapee now living in Coolangatta last 3 years would never ever return to live very gloomy depressing weather😔A visit sure(still one of the great culinary cities out there)- many friends and family still there but living the dream now!!!😁 But your Wellington content sure does bring back memories...what did strike me is so many places boarded up!GOD Bless USO,keep up the great content
Thank you for watching appreciate the comment yes the city looking abit tired still a good place tho I'm enjoying being back here please subscribe if u haven't already cheers mate😁👍🏽
I know Wellington and I miss it. Great to see it after 19 years I remember it so well. It,'s definitely changed lots of new shops etc. Used to go to The Warehouse a lot.
Wiki2 here brother Kos... awesome tour bruda. So many nights in manners mall, lino's everywhere, kickin it Friday evenings outside Cubacade ... Those days at Dr John's were epic. Thinking back to the days of buying Planet Rock on cassette single from Chelsea Records. Lots of great memories and still lots of landmarks to remind us of more. Hope you are well Uso and hope to catch up with you in 2024 when I get home.... aroha mai !!
Kia ora thanks for watching yeah not many ppl know about the old skool Manners mall and Courtenay pl those were the days lol, Chelsea records and the Regent cinemas these vids just jogging peoples memories a lot of people in the comments don't live in Welli anymore cheers brother merry Xmas mite catch you in the new years😊👍🏽
@@MaoriViking chur brother been a minute hope ur well u living overseas? Nice surprise too much be good to catchup if ur in Welli sometime in the new year 😊👍🏽
La Luna was the spot we used to run there from 97- 2000 DJ Raw, Mikki D, Goosh and Shan and Rhys was playing sometimes they were the residents then and Stelios was managing for George them were the days lol
Bring back memories Kos - what was that name old club which you had to walk down set of stairs where Mid City was from memory on Manners Street (big Jo was doorman) used to be which you pointed out on your stream? I remember bar inside was local basketball/Saints hangout.
@@kosican5147 top manners street, start of your vid you point out across the road was old Midcity complex. From memory night club was down stairs with entrance of Manners street next to Midcity? Another iconic character, impersonator. Kenny Rodgers...
Thanks for the video, I left welly in 2000 , when did the new buses come into play? I remember there use to be a movies cinema in manners mall back in the day that looks like it's gone , I remember burger king n maccas that use to be the old meeting point back in the days, brings back good memories
Thanks for watching yeah movies left Manners mall ages ago don't know exactly when new buses started cos I been living in Australia for about 11 years came back they are double deckers lol gona are the red trolley buses use to like them cos they had character cheers mate😊
Yo Frosty! good to see you still walking those streets, before Manners Mall the street was like that in the 70s my old man used to work in the Regent Billiard Room so spent a lot of my time there, the BNZ was still operating from that corner in those days. Come the 80s you and the boys were breaking out front of McDs! Willie's "Fight" Bar was going strong, Dr Johns in Courtney where we all started our nightclubbing before progressing to the other clubs as we got older. I left WLG a while ago now but it's good to see old faces, some old publicans like Chris "Gonzo" Lingonis still operating there. Bumping in to all the old faces like Raw & Co is always good........WLG will always be home.
Sup uso thanks for the comment brother been awhile hope u and the famz algoods that's our memories from back in the days Manners and Cubs st used to go off back the aye!😂💯👍🏽 cheers bro bless up😊❤
Kosmo! King Kosmo!. I ran into you today, and used your wrong name, so apologies but hey, 33 years is a long time. Good to see you getting into the content game. Here is to Cuba Beach. Here is to Noise n Effect. 1990 was a fun year :) Cheers R.
@kosican5147 When you started talking about Manners St. when it was closed off....got me thinking about the time me and my mate (wasted on mushies) pulled up there (after smoking a foil in the car) in the middle of a sea of people with Thriller blasting....an undercover sticks his head inside, sniffs and says "Don't go anywhere"....roach in the ashtray as the uniforms search the car and find nothing....haha, those were the dayz. Phone tapping was so great....1 tap for 9 right!🤔
Went back in 2019 and really ain’t the same anymore aey. Gogos, Estab, Sandwiches, Jet (was that what became mish mosh?) all gone. Lots of boarded up places. Was happy to see library bar and some other places still going tho. Definitely seems more chilled now than it used to be, guess cos we all grew up. Was waiting for the J&Ms mention, that made me chuckle
KC Cafe, where yes.. If you know you know... But it bears so much. The best Chinese food with a hundred items on the menu, but it was also so good if you were stone sober. Mish mosh, the old jet bar that had the arched bunker.. Not to mention the entire length of Courtney place being the warm of the place where the premiere of 'the lord of the rings' was held. Courtenay Place was also known as one of the longest stretches of pubs and clubs. Your trip down Courtenay Place brought back a million memories bro.
Thanks for the comment bro spoken like a true Wellingtonian 😍💯 yes Courtenay pl holds a lot of memories for us that grew up in the Welli do u live overseas? A lot different now not as busy as it was 10-15 years ago but KC and J&M still going strong 😂😂 cheers mate😊👍🏼
Mt Vic great place my favourite suburb in Welli have lived there for years the old bus stops with the red trolley buses 😂 cheers for the comment mate👍🏽
@kosican5147 I was there when the first McDonalds opened on the corner of Courtney Place & Cambridge Terrace....McDonalds was different in those days - if you knew someone who worked there when they first opened, you get a free feed all day (my friends sister in this case).
The place looks dead. I must have lived there in its peak. 2000-2004. So many great nights. Too many clubs to choose from. Courtenay place was thriving unlike now where it just looks derelict. Judder bar aka Vespa on Blair street was a fave. Pondarosa. Sub9! Tatou aka Basement bar. Finishing off the night at j&Ms chicken palace. Hope Courtenay place gets another renaissance era
Agree with you on the peaked years in the mid 2000s only thing that's still going is J&M😂😂 Courtenay pl brings back good memories some of those bars are still there but have different names thanks for the comment 😊👍🏽
@@kosican5147 Yeah Kos, its looking pretty sad these days when I'm back in town for a visit, not gonna lie, said to see my old home town like that. JK wasn't wrong then, hopefully better days are ahead for WLG
