Emporium

 

One of Napier's main streets in town

Napier is one of those old town's that has been reconstructed with art deco buildings due to the major earthquake of 1931. Every years they host an "art deco" festival where people dress up in 1930's costumes and celebrate.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.
