What's with the patches of bare concrete in the brick? Sloppy work? Or is there a reason for it?

Can't believe they're demolishing the George Lucas Food Court

Should be heritage listed.

Re: News & Discussion: Regional Transport


At a bare minimum, LinkSA needs to give their timetable data to Google Maps. I recently caught a public (LinkSA) bus to Murray Bridge from Adelaide. I previously had no idea you could even do this, but it turns out there are six or so services per day. I only found out about after some detective ...

It is very important that the roof of the Festival Centre Car Park is kept as pristine as it was when Colonel Light first gazed upon it.

Don't understand the Seinfeld connection. Wasn't really a pizza-heavy series from memory.

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail


Vinny has a point though.
Is a discount store full of cheap goods what you would expect to find in what is referred to a premier shopping precinct?


If we're trying to encourage more workers to move into the CBD then there needs to be a range of options available for people of all socio ...

Yeah, there's no way a luxury hotel in the tallest building in the city, with an observatory on the roof, across the road from the cultural precinct & a block away from Rundle Mall could POSSIBLY run at a profit. TERRIBLE business case.

Lots of anti-development reactions on this forum lately.
It's not anti-development to choose not to celebrate a massive downgrade like this

Absolutely terrible. Such prime real estate in a market begging for more apartments & hotel rooms & THAT'S the best they could come up with.

Not sure when it happened, but the arcade under the Realm Apartments is FINALLY open again and... yeesh!

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines

People complaining about Perth getting huge infrastructure upgrades are failing to understand that the 787 Dreamliners can fly non-stop from Perth to London, Rome & a number of other potential European capitals, all of which are too far from Adelaide to reach safely. With these upgrades, a trip to ...

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail

That "Price Conversion Chart" is ridiculous. 100 yen is $0.96, but in-store? $3.30!
