Charlie...

Sidecar cocktail and warm food at Charlie Superstar, during a power faliure, on a miserable evening = yay! What a great atmosphere.

Port Elizabeth CBD

If only our CBD had been potected against harmful projects and demolitions, we'd have a truly special town square and surroundings. But much of what contributed to making PE's town square special was removed - numerous old buildings that held the square with their human scale, the mayor's garden etc. It really is a terrible shame.

And I just loathe the fly-over highway. Yes, it is convinient, but at what cost? It has cast a dark shadow over the CBD, seperating it from the harbour, not to mention fostering a generally unsafe feeling. There are so many issue I could raise in regard to the problems our CBD faces but I'll just post some pictures that focus on the positive aspects our CBD/Town Square retains.

*These photo's were taken late on a Sunday hence the place looks a little deserted.

Second Time Around

I can spend an entire afternoon getting lost in an antique or second hand shop.

I want this retro sideboard!

Red Latte

Red latte & Orange cake at Vovo Telo today with friends.
I love this old house.

This photo is from a few weeks ago on sunnier day than today.

Silver Spoon

This is the staircase leading to the retail space of Silver Spoon Clothing - a very charming designer clothing shop in Richmond Hill.

And here's a snap of a type writer in the shop. I want it...

Richmond Hill Adventure: Deli Street Cafe

A couple of my friends and myself had yet another Richmond Hill walkabout the other day. We visited the Deli Street Cafe for something new. It was a pleasant surprise. We didn't expect the spacious, light filled space behind the shopfront.

Collections of miss matched, second hand furniture add to the quirky charm. The iced coffee I ordered went down well as it was quite a hot day. I'm sure we'll be visiting again sometime soon.
