The Perth Thread - Part 4

Did you see that article in the local paper (not The West Aus) about a forum on the 15th to discuss ways to make crossing Charles st safer/better? I personally don't and have never (even as a child) had an issue with crossing it. Don’t even get me started. Yes it’s difficult to cross and I’m...

How Many Days Since The Bayswater Bridge Has Been Hit?

Tracking the number of days since Baysie claimed a new victim. Long live the 3.8m clearance!

LOL holy s**t, was never aware of this til now

Are there no plans to fix it? Like the pollies aren't even pretending to care?

 

[Billy ray]

Its being fixed in next year or two

 

[Beerfish]

Anyone been down to check out the new Westfield Booragoon?

 

[gaskin]

There is a Westfield Booragoon? Have they just changed the name of Garden City?

Scentre Group shells out $570m to bolster Westfield presence in Perth

A significant change in Scentre Group's Perth portfolio means it will defer the expansion of Westfield Stirling.

Westfield Booragoon just sounds wrong. It'll always be Garden City to me

 

[Beerfish]

It'll always be garbo's to me

 

[The Speaker]

Westfield Garden City?

 

[JackOutback]

Everyone’s missing the other part of the equation. They have deferred to renovation of Westfield Stirling. Wait, where’s Westfield Stirling? Oh, Innaloo.

 

[gaskin]

North of the river. Don't care.

A sneaky way to get rid of the Innaloo name, that shopping centre is in the City of Stirling but so is Karrinyup shopping centre, I bet that doesn't get re-branded to Westfield Stirling after they complete the renovation there.

 

[Off The Couch]

For one moment I thought Westfield Stirling was Stirling Central and was thinking the only thing that would fix that centre is a bomb

Not for one second did I link innaloo with Stirling and I don’t think a name change is going to stop locals from calling it innaloo

On a side note used the new entry point for the underground car park at karrinyup and they haven’t left enough turning room to go up to the next level (original car park) - cars were having to stop to wait for cars to come down

I will still call it Innaloo despite the name change just like I still called it Subiaco Oval after they re-branded it with different sponsors names.

Hard to change a lifetime habit of calling a place something.

I knew people who still referred to crown casino as "burswood" for years after it changed over

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Just like it’s forever Westfield and not Camillo to me.

 

[Billy ray]

Will also be goodwood to me

 

[WCErevival]

Interested to see what they do with Garden City now. Some areas are due an upgrade

Apparently they are going ahead with the massive expansion/upgrade they've been talking about for probably a decade now.

 

[Forward Press]

I knew people who still referred to crown casino as "burswood" for years after it changed over

I still do.

Whenever someone says Crown casino I still default to the one in Melbourne.

 

[Beerfish]

I see the urbnsrf joint that was to go where the Melville Bowls club is is now to go somewhere in Cockburn. The dockers will be able to do recovery sessions there.

Can’t believe people are against this

Not people - boomers

I don't think the bowls club was the right place. I also wouldn't be surprised if it becomes like cable water ski wherever it is.

 

[Off The Couch]

I actually think somewhere coastal would of made more sense as well

 

[craigos]

It makes sense to have one in Melbourne where access to a surf beach and non poop water is well over an hour or two away but not so sure about Perth.
