Have you worked out what it's for? I walked past it today and was liking what I saw.Allkai wrote:Some interestingly shaped precast going on the new facade of 167 Flinders Street....
There was - closed about 10 years ago. One of the few that never brought in unlimited refills (and since the Glenelg one closed, the only other HJ's that doesn't have unlimited refills is the Dry Creek On The Run store).[Shuz] wrote:Agree 100%Ben wrote:HJ's was on the opposite side to maccas and was 2 levels. I remeber as a kid eating on the balcony next to timezone. I think the 90's in Adelaide were so much better then presentoh the memories ..
Wasn't there a HJ's at Glenelg as well, at one point?
Not overly surprised they've gone for just 16 seats. Would be sufficient for day trade, and they wouldn't want too many people loitering around on Friday/Saturday night's (they will probably close it off completely at night like KFC do with their Hindley St dining area.Ben wrote:The hungry jacks store is to come before ACC on Monday where they are expected to approve it. it looks tiny with only 16 seats. You can look at the plans here:

Colonel Light's statute may need relocating with renovated Adelaide Oval blocking view to the city
FOR 75 years Colonel William Light has stood on his perch high above the city, an outstretched finger pointing towards the city he designed.
But now as the giant redevelopment of Adelaide Oval rises before him, Colonel Light can no longer see the city below - it's lost in a blizzard of cranes and emerging grandstands.
Standing in front of Light's Vision on Montefiore Hill, the enormous bulk of the southern and eastern stands at the new $535 million Adelaide Oval has blocked much of the city.
TELL US: Where should Colonel Light be moved?
Little can be seen in an arc from the Stamford Grand hotel on North Terrace to the Royal Adelaide Hospital. The southern stand alone rises 51m from its concourse and has a roof span of 145m.
Perhaps it is time to move the venerable Colonel Light back down into the city that he did so much to create.

Been thinking about this today .... I think we should leave the good Colonel exactly where he currently is. Light's Vision is the best vantage point in the parklands that we have looking back to the CBD.ml69 wrote:Colonel Light's statute may need relocating with renovated Adelaide Oval blocking view to the city

Hear hear. The current location is fine.[Shuz] wrote:Lights Vision should be stay. He would be pleased to see the progress that is occuring in our city at the moment. The only reason the 'view' has been blocked out is because we don't have tall enough buildings just yet. This will eventuate over time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_LightThe statue now on Montefiore Hill, also now referred to as Light's Vision. "Light's Vision commemoration" was unveiled on 27 Nov 1906[8] in its original location in Victoria Square. It was moved to Montefiore Hill in 1938. The statue depicts Light pointing to the Adelaide city centre. This is not necessarily where he actually first stood to make his declaration; there is evidence that he actually stood near the corner of North and West Terraces,[6] and there is a memorial and plaque in that vicinity marking the approximate location of the Land and Survey offices, and of Light's and Fisher's huts, which were destroyed by fire in 1839.
