Painting Broadway
Late at night. When all the shops are closed (save Coles and Kmart). And the customers have all but disappeared. The painting gnomes roll out their hydraulic platforms, and touch up the ceiling.
Kids relegated to purgatory at Broadway
In their infinite wisdom Centre Management at Broadway Shopping Centre have moved the kids area to level 3, next to Priceline. The furthest they can get it away from the shops without leaving the centre?
This is the second time in a year they have move the kids playground.
Is the reason for moving, that stores have complained about the kids area being to close to them? I would think it would be good the surrounding stores. Parents are stuck there for a length of time, with nothing else to look at.
The kids playground was in a convenient location. Easy to visit when you need to let them burn off extra energy. Now you have to drag kids along a series of escalators or wait for space on the one lift that goes to level 3.
I suppose kids don’t make many purchases in the shopping centre. So why not just stick them where they are neither seen nor heard?
It’s more likely that just want the space to put in more shops. Like the reason they moved the customer service desk somewhere not obvious.
Sausages gone too quick
A packet of chicken sausages in Coles Broadway. The extra sticker says ‘Quick sale, Still fresh’, but it looks like the sausages have gone too quick and already shoot their load.
Clouds over demolition
The few remaining buildings and chimney of the former Carlton United Brewery on Broadway, Chippendale.
It was interesting to come back to Sydney after a year, and find the space opposite UTS raised to the ground. An expanse of open space, and this one tall chimney.
I see that this project has been coming along for some years. And that it is intended to be a green urban renewal project.
It will be interesting to see what it looks like when finished, in 6 to 8 years. But for now it is nice to have a little more open space so close to Sydney CBD.
