Default Wellie's red light district
"The street was also the home of the famous coffee bar operated by the flamboyant transsexual Carmen. Following Carmen's decision to leave and live in Australia, along with redevelopment, the street's fortunes began to wane. "

"Carmen"

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH

"Carman"

Seems the only way I would have heard about "Carmen" was in response to my middle name.....and of course Kiwis (well, ok, almost anyone) pronounce "Carman" the same as "Carmen". :icon_frown:

I like Wellington, would like to move their soon, but may have to not give out my middle name again (or my website). :icon_eek: :icon_cool:
