I think it's great that parts of Adelaide are getting a much needed revamp, new shops and/or new facilities. The new Airport terminal is great, once they iron out the problems with getting the domestic airlines flying from there. Harbourtown has more shops, Main North Road has got a new shopping centre. Spare a thought though for a few other area's I could mention that could do with a lick of paint to say the least..
Arndale shopping centre (no longer owned by Westfield as they went to the greener or should that be bluer ?, pastures of West Lakes). Inside it's getting some new shops but the outside of the building still looks bl**dy ugly and whats with all the second hand stores next to it ?, talk about dragging down the area. Got nothing against second hand stores but they're just located in old drab looking buildings which should have been taken down/refurbished a long time ago. While I'm on the subject, how about another takeaway restaurant apart from "Red Rooster" thats open at night at the same time the Cinema is! (discounting late night shopping Thursdays).
Hindley Street, it's getting there, but still needs some investment, or hurrying up at least with some of the developments. It's no good finishing most of the street and leaving some of it abandoned.
That's all I can think of for now, might come back to this topic later.
