Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development
A fun guessing game: From The Advertiser article on the Marriott GPO hotel: The world’s largest hotel chain has signed a deal to establish a third hotel in Adelaide as it prepares to open its flagship Marriott brand in the historic GPO building in August. Marriott International will also open a Wes...

Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development
If they reglazed the apricot cement monstrosity the same glazing as trumps stunted chode, it’d bring the area together nicely Yeah, great - then you could have two gaudy buildings that look straight out of early 90s Vegas, lovely. Hell, even just a decent pressure clean to the top of the InterConti...

live music is going the way of boomers. the kids want to see DJs play recorded music now I'm guessing you haven't been to the Cranker in a while! "The kids" are very much into the live gigs played there. They are in a minority for their generation. Its no accident live venues are going th...

Looks like Roxie’s days are numbered and possibly Crown and Anchor?

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
So let me get this straight, Mount Barker has a population of 40,000 and the state government have rebuked every suggestion of an electrified rail service to the centre, meanwhile Kouts is talking out of his arse about a possible rail service to Riverlea, so long as the population of the area grows ...

[U/C] Re: 145-159 King William Street (GPO) | 61m | 16 Levels | Hotel
I wonder, are they going to replace that awful tin shed roof of the GPO with glass or something that looks better... Where in the world is replacing a roof with glass common practise? No doubt they will replace the iron roof with a new colour bond roof but give them time. Grand Palais in Paris has ...

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Incl. 115m Tower | $800 million
IMO, this is the area I feel they should be building a concert hall, when the Adelaide Festival had their pop up venue in this space, it flowed really nicely with the architecture of the Festival Centre. I think a building slotted between the two white domes would really add to the centre and could ...

Re: News & Discussion: Squares and Parklands
Apparently 2024 is some kind of reverse year. Adelaide City Council has committed to opposing all development in the parklands for 5 years, and the Adelaide Park Lands Association calling that unrealistic and wanting sporting facilities and clubrooms upgraded. Of course they do, the APA don't actua...

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail
They're idiots. The quest to 'modernise' it has turned the Myer Centre facade into generic piece of crap. However, I remain grateful that Rundle Mall as a whole is so much better-looking and lively than it was years ago. Completely disagree. There’s nothing lovely about the current Rundle Mall. The...

There’s a lot more under the surface of these announcements. Super Bueno is owed by Penny Hospitality who are doing just fine; they own General Havelock, Paper Tiger (formerly Two Pot Screamer), Joe’s Henley Beach and West Oak; whilst running the bars at Hindley street Music Hall and Lion Arts.

Why the blank wall for the building’s core, surely at this height they could follow suit with what’s done elsewhere and glaze the building all around.

I visited Melbourne last week, the first time since February. Having previously lived there almost a decade ago for five years, I was shocked at how overcrowded, dirty and soulless it has become. Any appeal I once had for living there has certainly gone. Of course, Melbourne has always been a bit gr...
