PALMERSTON NORTH: IT COULD BE WORSE

How to feel this way, and mean it.

by CHAFF Editor William Muirhead

I’m quite serious when I say I love Palmy. Yeah, it’s windy and grey and exploding with violent crime, but it’s cheap, there’s a Naked Pie Man, lots of pubs, some ducks, and… more ducks… and… did I mention the Naked Pie Man? Yeeeeah.

Anyway, you’re here, so may as well look for the silver lining and not the great black storm cloud swelling threateningly within. There’s a lot to like about the P-Town (or, as it’s also known, New Phat City or – for the ravers - P-City Hardcore), and some awesome people here to meet. Here are some CHAFF tips for how to make the most of it, avoid unexplained itches and always have enough coin for a brew, compiled from a collection of features I wrote when I was alive.

Enjoy!
