Hi I just read this: http://illuminatedtraveller.com/2010/08/a-weekend-in-adelaide/ It appears the guys is from Melbourne and had fun in Adelaide. Just a note - I found out about this through Twitter when @adelaidetweet retweeted his short post with the above link (as he'd tagged the post with #adel...

As all these things tend to be completed in stages, does anyone have any ideas about what stages or sections would be completed first and in what order? I think it would make sense that an East Tce -> West Tce section would be completed first - this would, for starters, make CBD navigation easier - ...

Rundle Street Yakitori Bar has opened with little fanfare on (gasp!) Rundle St, where Not Coffee used to be. Has any body given it a go? The branding looks very plain and forgettable, so I wouldn't be surprised if people walk past thinking that it's always been there - it's just anonymous. I've wal...

Just heard about this - sorry if it's been posted before. When I visited Brisbane 2 years ago and went to the Regent Theatre in their mall, I was jelous! I thought: Wow! This is a grand old building, and unlike Adelaide's Regent Theatre, it's still running and in well-attended.. Now I hear they're d...

My thoughts exactly

Firstly, this is ridiculous... I'm frustrated by the accidental / on purpose removal of this work. The city council did a very poor job on this.. where is the coordination? These bright and talented artists put so much time and effort into this, and I didn't get to see it sadly, as I was planning to...

Regarding the new paved 'courtyard' area on Victoria Square (next to SA water and the church)... I wonder if there's any scope to do anything with this paved space, or if it's intended to only be empty all the time. I noticed it today, and couldn't help but think that the potential of that space is ...

From searching for "ATLAS ticketing system" (there's very little info on that phrase)... looks like the company behind it is ACS: http://www.acs-publictransport.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FROM ACS WEBSITE: Cards and ticke...

My rant: I'm getting annoyed constantly by these street cigarette ashtray bins (the metal tubes with a little 'butt out' tray at the top, which people are then supposed to put their non-lit butts into). The reason I'm annoyed is because no-joke, every second one of these is billowing huge amounts of...

I don't know about everyone else but i can handle pushing a button and crossing a road but if there just a lawn and a fountain there i'm probably not going to bother. I see this is a backhanded attempt to put down my basic point (haha): let people cross the square without having to wait at 2 or 3 s...

Actually I don't mind the idea of restricting traffic to one side of the square...(even if we kept the east west road) it would free up the vast majority of the area into a much more pedestrian-friendly area... and nice gardens are always a plus, i like the ideas

Perhaps the most used square in the city is Hindmarsh Square - particularly the north east and west corners. Why? ok there are a few reasons (proximity to rundle mall/street), but another reason I think is that these corners are part of the pedestrian 'freeway' - ie you don't have to cross any roads...

Agreed, Rundle Mall is far from 'dying', but I would not mind if someone is able to spend money on it if the money genuinely improved it in some way. one other thing - to get a different perspective on Rundle Mall (eg. from a height), there are very few opportunities in the mall. One is FIRST bar (R...

Anyone got any info on when this is likely to start?? (**EDIT - should clarify I'm talking about the re-paving specifically) Harbison had stated in one of those articles above that work was 'likely to commence in October'... well... it's October... Would have thought it would be best to get this sor...

This story shows the difference in heritage attitudes in the city of Melbourne, at least of those who are approving constructions... http://www.theage.com.au/national/stork-to-bring-cbd-a-skinny-baby-20090929-gb3p.html This 67 story building will be on the site of a to-be-demolished 150 year old pub...
