Great idea, great location right near the edge of the city, nice use of the old hotel.

Watch the Walkerville Council blow this to pieces.

What other heritage things need to be restored to Adelaide Railway Station?

Replacing the Convention Centre carparks with platforms for regional & interstate trains.

As you can see, they did a good job building a "retro" facade to it, but the actual arcade had nothing at all to do with the old hotel building.
