The Greek Souvlaki place was closed for several months while the building next door got demolished.
Another hole has appeared in the street where a building has been demolished. Selwyn Dealers next door sensibly moved all their stock away from the adjoining wall just in case.

Colombo Street in Sydenham, Christchurch - looking towards the City Centre.
Still standing in Jan 2011 - but the buildings future is unknown - It is probably destined to be demolished.
The old Christchurch Railway Station Clock Tower was damaged during the 7.1 magnitude quake on 4 September 2010 and was braced by the wooden sleeve until repaired. However, although the sleeve did its job during the 6.3 magnitude quake on 22 February 2011, the lower part of the tower started to break away.

A lot more of the fascade has collapsed.
This restaurant used to do bookings for large groups only and you all had to pick and wear funny hats from hooks around the walls.
The side wall of the building on the left collapsed onto their roof, collapsing it into the stonemasons store. Several gravestones were also damaged!
