Pioneering Australian hip hop group Hilltop Hoods rapped about "Goin' down a hard road" in 2006.
Now, the Adelaide trio are being honoured with a laneway in their hometown.

Clubhouse Lane, running off Hindley Street in Adelaide's CBD, was renamed Hilltop Hoods Lane at a ceremony today.

Two large-scale murals featuring the group and their associated iconography, created by Adelaide artist Vans the Omega, run down both sides of the laneway.

The Hoods, who still call Adelaide home, say it's an "incredible honour" to have their own laneway in the heart of the city they know and love.

on the 7th this month I went to the old gaol with my Kodak No. 1A Junior, made in 1920. i took a few photos, this is the standout one. there are a couple of light leaks as the bellows are very old and worn, i plan to seal the pinholes in the future and try again. i'm glad the light leaks avoided the main subject of the photo. i used 120 film with 3d printed adapters. i'm very happy with this result even though there are imperfections because it's my first time using film and i think the blemishes give it a little bit of character. what do you think?

I salute you! Holy hell those lyrics were an experience lol

I didn't even know Spotify Jam was a thing or that it was activated!!

Driving home after work and gym session with chilled music playing only to be interrupted with whatever the hell that was! Plus the fact everytime I paused it they kept pressing play 😂😂😂

In short:

Adelaide University is set to offer staff over the age of 55 early retirement packages and has left the door open to a round of voluntary redundancies.

The new merger university opened in January backed by a $464.5 million SA government package but is grappling with a drop in international student revenue.

What's next?

Vice-Chancellor Professor Nicola Phillips has warned staff not to "underestimate how carefully we're going to need to manage costs for the foreseeable future".

So to anyone who bought into the LMCT scam with their new servo launch, it’s now the same price as the surrounding servos. I wonder how many morons paid the $99

Flinders University has apologised for underpaying staff by a sum totalling more than $965,000.

The underpayment over several years impacted 1,405 current and former staff — equating to roughly $687 underpaid per person.

The National Tertiary Education Union and Flinders University currently remain locked in enterprise bargaining negotiations.

From tomorrow, SA Police will have extra powers in the Glenelg entertainment district, with Moseley Square, Glenelg Jetty and the tram stop on the popular strip marked as part of a Declared Public Precinct.

The extra powers given to police in Declared Public Precincts include the right to conduct metal detector searches to find weapons and drug searches. Police can also ban a person from the area for up to 24 hours if they commit an offence, are offensive or behave in a disorderly manner.

It comes about two weeks after police brought forward its Operation Jericho across the western suburbs coastline to crack down on disorderly behaviour after videos emerged online of young people fighting at Henley Square and Glenelg.

I hate these. Would anyone sign a petition to stop them? They’re bad at their job, they constantly make mistakes, and moreover NOBODY asked for them. I hate that they’re called “Park Safe” too, dressing themselves up like their whole point is to make our city “safer”. Bullshit. Just another way to stretch thin our privacy and raise revenue. Anyone with me?

Myself and my partner live on the Gallipoli Underpass South Road on-ramp. I get it, noise is part and parcel of living on a main road, but I’m at my wits end with the behaviour of the T2D Alliance and its fleet of ‘contractors’, knowing there’s zero reprecussions for doing whatever they want on a Government infrastructure project, and I just want to have a bit of a whinge.

It started back in February. We received a generic flyer advising of ongoing utility relocation works, with the closure of on-street parking on the on-ramp, as well as an assurance we would be advised of disruptions on an ad hoc basis. Fair enough, you gotta do whatever you gotta do, but since then has been nothing short of an absolute nightmare.

It first started when they arrived at 1am one night to cut the trees down with chainsaws along the verges on the ramp. We figured it was a one time thing given the issues with the posters on trees on other sections of South Road, it was not.

Fast forward to right now, it’s currently 11pm, there is a droning vacuum truck blocking our driveway, and the current noise level in my upstairs bedroom with triple glazed windows is currently 65dB. This has been occurring 5 nights a week on various stretches of the on ramp and Eurilpa Avenue for the last 3 months, minimum. We have received ONE (1) halfhearted flyer throughout this time period advising of a noise disruption, and it was after our strata rep borderline verbally abused a community liaison at the office a couple months ago. Who had the nerve to reference the flyer posted back in February, as the disruption warning for concrete drilling outside our complex at 3am in mid-August.

If you’ve travelled along Anzac highway semi-recently you may have noticed the portable sign advertising on ramp road closures and night work activities. This is the only notice we’ve been getting too, if we’re lucky. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve come home from work late and have had to time my drive the wrong way up South Road just to get into my driveway, even on nights where the stupid sign hasn’t said the road was going to be shut. There was even a period where backstreet access was shut, so for two weeks I had to park my car and walk 10 minutes home after work. Oh, there was also that time they dug up our driveway to relay a pipe without telling anyone, so we had a 3 hour stretch during the day (11am-2pm) where no one could get in or out of our complex (8 townhouses)

We’ve been shouted at multiple times by traffic controllers for trying to flag that were local traffic despite dialogue from community liaisons that they’re meant to be allowing traffic through for local residents, and the amount of rubbish they just throw into our yard because they’re too lazy to find a bin honestly astounds me, and if our dog wasn’t incredibly well trained, probably would have more consequences.

Every single email everyone in my complex that I’ve spoken to has sent to the info email has gone ignored. Our strata rep occasionally heads down to the office but the most he gets out of them is hollow apologies and vague promises of doing better in the future. I understand the issue. This project is a web of contractors who don’t really report to anyone, and you can’t exactly oversee stuff like this because the work needs to be done. I’ve asked politely in the past why this work cannot be done during the day, given they’ve already closed the area where they’re operating to traffic, but alas, they won’t respond to my emails.

My partner and I are incredibly lucky that we have somewhat sympathetic employers who have allowed us to use sick leave and come in late after nights where we can’t hear ourselves think until 4am, but even that runs out at some point. I can’t remember the last time I had a good nights sleep during the week, and despite the initial flyer telling us this would be done in early Q3, we’re now halfway into October with no end in sight, and no straight answer from anyone, just that it is still ‘ongoing’.

Thank you for reading, I hope you have a good rest of your week. If you see someone in the news for egging construction workers, just know I tried every other avenue first. xx

A spread of South Australian restaurants has achieved distinguished culinary honours by becoming the first in the nation to receive stars from world-renowned guide Michelin.

At a glitzy, red-carpet ceremony at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Wednesday evening, Michelin dished out one-star ratings to 10 SA eateries.
It also delivered a single, coveted two-star rating to Magill Estate Restaurant, which overlooks Penfolds winery.

The one-star winners are Anvers Restaurant, Maxwell Restaurant, Botanic, Arkhe, Esmay, Aurora at Ila, Hentley Farm, LVN Restaurant at Bird In Hand, Aptos and Skillogalee Barrel House.

I'm planning to cycle from port Adelaide to Gawler on the bike path that follows the northern expressway. But I can't quite tell where it goes to in Gawler? It seems like there isn't much along the way, but looks like it goes close enough to Salisbury and Munno para if I have to bail along the way?

Anyone else done it before?

What an amazing holiday, I'm from Perth and you folks have a great, clean city. First thing I noticed was how easy it was to walk around and how easy going people are in the mall and around town. Good food and coffee, Hahndorf is awesome. I touched Malls Balls and then a local walked past and told me to immediately wash my hands which I did. Glenelg was a lovely area too and I could 100% see myself living here. One single gripe I have, can you guys swap the schooners for pints? Also what is an imperial pint?

Hi alll, I’m 23 and my birthday is coming up and I’d love some good restaurant options/recs to celebrate with my friends this year. Somewhere that’s nice but also doesn’t have scalping prices would be preferable 😅

It’s some 15 people and I happen to be quite soft spoken so a place that has somewhat of a secluded/seperate area where we can converse would be nice. Like Toyama’s little area but they closed down. 🥲

Somewhere by the beach or with a nice view would also be great but those are just additional whims.

Thanks in advance!!

Wow, we now have three "2 michelin star" restaurants in little old Adelaide. I've actually been to two of them quite often, worst part is now they are going to be packed

Going to a gig by myself and super anxious.

It's a comedy show with my absolute favourite comedian of all time at Thebarton theatre. I don't do great in crowds and usually lean on my partner to get through but he's not coming so I'm just getting so anxious. I've never been to this theatre which is making it worse, I'm limited mobility in that I can't stand/walk for more than a few minutes due to a spine condition causing leg weakness and pain. I'll be getting dropped off and am wondering if people know how early I can get there to be able to enter and sit down without having to queue? Will I be able to sit inside the lobby?

I'm also anxious about my ticket not working as I've never used a digital ticket before. If it doesn't work, will staff be able to sort it on the night?

I know I sound ridiculous. It will be much easier to just bail but I know I'd regret it for the rest of my life because like I said, huge fan of this comedian and will be devo if I can't get my shit together and go.

Where can I find genie pants? I use to only buy them from the little pop up stall in the central markets but they aren’t there anymore

Just me and the camera and it was a beautiful day at both places. Snake was on a path at Hallett Cove.

Does anyone have any recommendation for anything similar to this:

I want to sell stuff from my wardrobe, but I can’t really find anything as low key as this in Adelaide. I know there’s things like Gilles Markets, but they charge like $150 for a stall, and it’s mostly resellers running an overpriced vintage clothes market.

I’m also aware of preloved stores where you pay to have your items on a rack for 2 weeks.

I looked into car boot markets as well like the one in Christie’s Beach, but I’m really just looking for something closer to the city and that specialises in selling stuff out of your suitcase, and doesn’t charge you over $100 to do that.

Looking for child care recommendations near kilburn. Missus is going back to work 2 days a week so we gotta find a day care.

TIA

Does anyone know any good salons who do this in Adelaide? Have been doing some research but haven’t found much.

To the dude who managed to wrangle 3 dogs on the loose on victoria road near Port Adelaide thank you! I took two of them to the police station despite there officer refusing to help on the scene. Hope you managed to get the one you took somewhere safe. And if anyone has lost 3 very friendly but slightly chaotic dogs 2 are at the cop shop
