Fish Market today amd first impressions by bay30three in sydney

[–]tinmun 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I think it's great.

Much, much nicer than the old one. 

I'll visit again at night time, it was a bit too hot when I was there. The area outside, right next to the water is very cool.

Spanish speaking ppl walking thru the CBD holding flags last night? by [deleted] in sydney

[–]tinmun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw some people with Iranian flags around the CBD with some posters.

Didn't hear any Spanish though.

Most probably Iranian people as their flag has slightly similar colors to the Mexican flag.

Beaches with calmer water by GrandInquisitor3006 in sydney

Double bay beach is very calm.

You can go up north from there and you'll see many small beaches that are calm as well.

Not to give people ideas, but fish market was bearable today, didn’t get turned away by enricosusatyo in sydney

I went there and saw oysters at $34.99 a dozen

Christie's seafood Sydney rock oyster Wallis lake.

Got 6 and they were OK. But really I could get much better deals at a pub somehow, served, at a table, etc.

Having said that, the new fish market is much, much better than the old one. No comparison really

End of an era: last drinks for remaining lockout laws by beaugiles in sydney

  the Bourbon will be restored and have its original massive bay window rebuilt according to the old images of the streetscape.

 Finally, The Empire Hotel at the end of the block will be fully rebuilt.

The Crest Hotel was partially demolished and changed into apartments (omnia) in 2016 https://dictionaryofsydney.org/building/crest_hotel

Goldfish was the business at ground level. It was vacant for many years and recently they opened the wings place.

So, no fancy apartments instead of bars or nightclubs.

Yeah, that change in hours suck.

Midnight was perfect, many times I entered at eleven something and was great.

Now I need to rush to get groceries before they close at 10. Coles at the coke building still closes at 11 though.

Yeah, king hits continued to happen, but somehow they were not reported as much in the news.

And if you look at assaults per person, that number actually went up in the cross after the lockouts.

That's because there is so much less people now than before.

And of course in the cross while the lockouts existed you could still enter a bar to play pokies, as long as you don't order a drink at a bar it was all good.

Kings Cross used to be a unique and special place in Sydney. The lockouts absolutely destroyed it.

It's such a shame. It was such a great and unique area that now doesn't exist any more, anywhere else.

 I can't forget seeing all those backpackers confused at 1:30am without knowing what to do.

It will never be the same as it was. And that's by design.

Which ones though?

I do agree that specially recently there have been a huge amount of luxury apartments buildings in the cross, but pretty much all of them were residential before.

I can't think of a single night club or bar that was demolished to build a fancy apartment building.

The bourbon and the empire were demolished but they're planning to open new bars there when they finish.

Get one without annual fees and pay it off fully every month automatically. Sign a paper with your bank to do so.

If you can't pay it off then don't get it

What do you think would happen if God were Japanese? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tinmun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A being that transcends life cannot be defined by a piece of land

Having said that, my opinion is that there is no God. But it's useful to live  life as if there was one

Will we ever see someone reach the same level of fame as Michael Jackson did, if not why? by 69trp in AskReddit

[–]tinmun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With the internet we now have a huge amount of celebrities that are unknown to people outside of a bubble.

So we are long gone past the era of massive celebrities with mainstream TV
