So how is the new Delta Hotel coming along. Sure is a lot of work to be done before next February?

Maybe it is only going to be two storey high.

The” Wood” building on George Street should be “gaily” wrapped in colourful wrapping paper instead of stale white. After all, it is a costly “present” is it not? Just waiting for a large red ribbon on it too if it stays white.
