Commenting on the story: Vacant CBD buildings ripe for residences

The town’s heritage character, though challenged enormously by a interval of chaotic below planning, continues to be seen.

Adaptive reuse of empty metropolis house is a commendable plan, as in Amsterdam. It is sensible for the town fringe dealing with the parklands to be included in new denser dwelling conversations. Slightly than again a standard carbon high-rise catastrophe, as identified by UniSA’s Dr David Ness, why not have a look at the Scandinavian mid-rise housing options which can be environmentally a lot kinder ?

SA growth visionary Barrie Harrop has performed some extraordinary work in bringing these greener, denser ideas to consideration in SA and past. This contains inexpensive options. There are ‘eighties’ workplace websites alongside Greenhill Rd that will lend themselves to this method and permit what’s left of the important character of our beloved metropolis to be preserved.

Commenting on the story: What ever occurred to … Ying Chow?

First, I agree with Josh Fanning’s evaluation that the meals at Ying Chow stays high shelf. However his puerile piece that lamented the modified tradition of Adelaide through the use of Ying Chow as the instance accommodates inaccuracies and misrepresentations.

Because it opened practically 30 years in the past the place has by no means been open (formally) till 1.30am; the ribs are Purple Vinegar Ribs, not Dry Vinegar Ribs; and whereas there have been employees with personalities – and a few with out – who’ve come and gone over time, the beating coronary heart and dwelling soul of Ying Chow has all the time been Brian, whether or not within the kitchen or entrance of home. He’s all the time there. A real Adelaide legend. If Josh hasn’t sensed his presence within the restaurant over time I’m not positive the place he’s been going. Or is it that he’s just too self-absorbed?

However, extra broadly, what rock have you ever been below, Josh? There was a pandemic. The entire enterprise of consuming out was reframed by it. Restricted numbers. Workers shortages. Provide points. Make a reserving. However even in that context Ying Chow shone by being open when it was allowed, and into the occasions when leisure was cranking up once more. They closed the kitchen at 9.30 within the depths of the pandemic, however that was later than most different locations. Even La Trattoria. And if you happen to have been late strolling up from the Pageant Theatre you would all the time ring in your order whereas on the way in which; nonetheless can. As issues have settled down the closing time is edging later. Nonetheless not again to 12.30, however definitely later than largely wherever else. And that within the face of value of dwelling pressures affecting consuming out; and in winter.

Getting a late evening feed from a full menu in Adelaide is an acknowledged downside, and one value writing about. That stated, low cost photographs and ill-informed commentary on a spot that has all the time performed its finest is hardly edifying. – Will Morony
