Who are they? That's obvious: Auckland's writer and Auckland's reader.
Every major city should have one of each.
As this seems to be chalk on a board, wouldn't it have been REALLY easy to just rub 'em out with your thumb on the way past?
As a Wellingtonian, this just helps to confirm my belief that Aucklanders aren't a very literary bunch.
The second mistake looks like quotation marks. LOL.
I'm not surprised that Auckland only has one of each.
This is just plain bad marketing. You'd think writers and readers would be smart enough to not abuse apostrophes in this disgraceful way.
