This is an old photo from about 7 years ago when we lived in Tauranga. I think this is a suburb called Bureta? With Mount Maunganui aka Mauao in the background. The supermarket that says "Countdown" has now been changed back to the original name of "Woolworths".
We class Tauranga has being a city now rather than a town as the population has grown significantly over the years. But the real estate prices are through the roof and are very very expensive. We would move back there if we could but it's above our budget.

It is amazing how much can change in just a few years, yet the view of Mauao remains timeless
I find it interesting when we visit places we used to live. It's nice to see the changes.
...real estate seems to be expensive everywhere!
Change is the only constant.
It all looks very green. One thing that won't change is the view of the mountain.
Remarkably open street - is that to protect a view of The Mount?
Lots of memories there. One of my favourite views, and places
That mountain is a beautiful sight in that area.
Nice crisp photo and your haeder is great again. Nicely done.
Looks like a beautiful city. I like that little volcanic mountain just off the coast. I haven't seen a Woolworths in many years!
The view of the mountain is spectacular.
It is surprising how things change. I was born near Santa Fe, New Mexico and when I was a kid, yes it was a tourist town but kind of ordinary. Drug and department on the city square, now it is a town for the superrich.
Great shot.
Thank heavens for mountains and beaches which don't change so we know where we are when to "go back".
Wow! Awesome mountain and photo is divine ~ memories keep us going ~ hugs,

What a lovely area. Ahh...the memories you have. Life is good.
Reminds me of California.
Visiting from Skywatch Friday!
Worth a Thousand Words
Nice straight road towards the mountain. Our Woolworths are all closed, but a lot of the buildings are still around, historic I guess. We have one downtown, with the sign The Woolworth Building. Great stores.
