We can't have nice things anymore, not even drive-ins.Interesting thing is that there is this problem on Louis Botha a few km further on.
@wingnut771 will remember the Doll House, a popular roadhouse that went on for over 50 years. They caused it to close down, too dangerous.
That Highlands North suburb isn't on the list either though.
Replaced by drive-bys. Guys take your delivery and throw it at you... that's what I've been toldWe can't have nice things anymore, not even drive-ins.

Too far away. Also a different city power block.Isn't there maybe a substation in Mountain View supplying that part of Orange Grove?
Only went there a couple of times myself. These days it's like a dangerous shebeen, last I noticed, and the area more than a bit rough now.Does the Radium Beer Hall still exist? Was quite a hangout especially for pool when I was a youngster.
