FALL RIVER It’s easy enough to miss if you’re driving by, but there’s a Fall River business on the fourth floor of a former mill building on Quarry Street that quietly and methodically manufactures formal dress coats and pants for the Chicago Police Department.
It also makes full dress uniforms for the New Bedford Police Department.
And that’s just scratching the surface.
Anchor Uniform Manufacturing is also “an approved manufacturer” of dress uniforms for the New York City Police Department the difference in that case being that they instead are required to provide all materials and designs to a Manhattan manufacturer, which in turn stitches it all together.
The Northern Explorer runs between Auckland and Wellington.
On track again this month after its Covid-19 suspension, the Northern Explorer is once more delighting travellers on its route between Auckland and Wellington. The oldest passenger train service in the country, it calls in at Palmerston North, Ohakune, National Park and Hamilton; but these days it’s much more about the experience than just getting from A to W. The carriages have picture windows that arch up onto the roof, the reclining seats are big and comfortable, there’s a commentary available through supplied headsets and the licensed dining car serves delicious Wishbone food and drinks.

He arrived in New Zealand just over a year ago to take the reins at Chorus. His first 12 months turned out to be far more dramatic than he could ever have imagined. The Ultrafast Broadband (UFB) operator saw record use of its fibre network, and a record share price, as the pandemic drove a work-from-home boom.
