The idea of umbrella, canvas or glass coverings in the alleyways and active retail frontages is already part of the proposal as far as I'm aware.

Most of Adelaide's CBD has always excelled at this. I'm surprised you haven't noticed it.

Melbourne may have great laneways and arcades, but my god Bourke Street mall is a disgrace. Its awful

I agree. I must say that it was all so very confusing. Coming back to the simplicity of Rundle Mall, has made me realise just how great the Mall is.

Just heard on the phone from someone in retail that Harris Scarf is relocating it's head office in Melbourne. I am absolutely ignorant on anything to do with HS - can anyone shed some light on this - does not quite add up in the context of the new bldg. IMO.

ADELAIDE - TOWARDS A GREATER CITY SKYLINE

Harris Scarfe hasn't been SA owned for a while now, if I remember correctly.

Who cares. Most head offices are in either sydney or melbourne even if you think they are SA comapnies..... it is just pure economics.

Just looking around the Harris Scarfe website and it says:
"Please contact Harris Scarfe Head Office on (08) 8150 5888"

I gather therefore from the phone number that their head office is currently in Rundle Mall. I will be reasonably unimpressed if they do decide to relocate to Melbourne.... Still, it may just be temporary during the Adelaide redevelopment or it could just be rumor from retail employees worried about what impact the redevelopment will have on their jobs.

Either way I'll reserve judgement until they complete the office tower. If they successfully pull off a nice redevelopment of the whole area then I'll be quite happy.

Does harris scrafes rundle mall shop remind you of "Are you being served"?

or am i alone on this one?

Where's Mrs Slocombe's pussy?

I dont know where to post this, but what is happening with that retail development on the 2nd level of Regent Arcade, Rundle Mall end. Nothing has been going on there for months and months. Anyone know why its stalled?

Does anyone know what will become of Ezydvd?

Due to their recent turmoil, it will be interesting to see what happens.

It's finished for now. They finally completed the work on the lift and that seems to be open now. But they've yet to find a tenant or tenants for the upper level. So that's just a blank canvas for who ever wants to shop fit the area. The only fittings being the refurbished cornices etcetera from the old cinema interior, the escalators, the railings that surround the void and the interesting light fittings.

They no longer exist in ACT and I don't think they're in Sydney either. I heard they have new owners.

Yeah i heard that too.. Be curious to see what the new owners do if demolition/construction starts soon, if they'll set up shop elsewhere or pull out of the CBD.

I know West Lakes and TTP have shut down.

Well you posted it in the right place, because I know for a fact Harris Scarfe are looking at putting a temporary store in there (and probably another elsewhere too in the CBD) while they redevelop
