When I lived in Christchurch back in 2004-2005, this was a building I went past on the bus every day to get to and from work in the city.
After the big quake on 04/09/10 (7.1 magnitude), its been seriously damaged. As have many more of the shops in this area.
Thankfully no lives were lost in the quake, and I'm glad I wasnt there to feel it eith...
