Great ideas

@@timecapsulecaptures9846 My vision for Uptown is based off what happened to Melbourne Central when it lost its anchor tenant, Daimaru. Although, in Melbourne they turned it into dining

@@timecapsulecaptures9846 guess what, I just read on the Courier mail that MYER are actually looking into moving into the Treasury Casino in the future, once the casino eventually moves into Queens Wharf. They are still yet to finalise, but it depends on whether or not they have more delays with the opening of phase 1 of Queens Wharf. It won't be until about 2 - 3 years until a MYER store will open at the treasury casino, assuming that this is confirmed as the new location. This is because, they would need to move out the Casino and then refurbish it which could take a year or so. But the Treasury Casino was already planned to be turned into a department store once Queens Wharf opened, so I think MYER are looking into moving there to stop potential overseas department store from coming into Australia like Daimaru did in the 90s & early 2000s.

@@timecapsulecaptures9846 Looks why we a not the only ones having this problem. In San Francisco, Nordstorm vacated its store last week. And even worse, Westfield just gave up and removed the centre from their port folio. At least Vicinity haven't given up on UPTOWN yet

Thank you

@@timecapsulecaptures9846 many speculate the MYER will move into Queens Plaza or Wintergarden, by my bet is actually somewhere near Queens Wharf area.

The trend in the CDB has been towards high-end shopping. Uptown can either go that route or decide to focus on affordable shopping. It did seem to go for the 'affordable' side when Target and Lincraft became major tenants.

@@timecapsulecaptures9846 I think a King/pin would go well in taking up one or two of the upper levels of the MYER CENTRE and then the lower portion of the former store could be turned into a dining & modern retail precinct, with cafes and Restaurants.

@@timecapsulecaptures9846 5 levels of Lasertag plz

​@@timecapsulecaptures9846 Honestly, if I was them, I would aim UPTOWN toward low-cost and affordable shopping, as well as a major dining & entertainment space, then they could attract smaller low-cost department stores like KMART & TK MAXX to the old MYER Store, & if we eased the pressure off rent, than we could even attract small local businesses to the city. Considering that we are in a cost-of-living crisis, they are not going to get much premium demand. Other than failed negotiations, I think another reason why MYER moved out is because of a trend away from major department stores to smaller low-cost ones like Kmart, as well as a rise in online shopping. Many say that Myer may move into Wintergarden or Queens Plaza, but I actually think that when Queens Wharf opens & the Treasury Casino is converted into a department store, I think MYER might just end up moving into one of the old Treasury Casino buildings or they may possibly even move into Queens Wharf with a Downsized store. I am surprised, however, that MYER didn't keep at least 1 floor for managing online orders as an online distribution center. Then again, since 2019, MYER have been closing a lot of stores, including Loganholme, Hornsby and Blacktown in Sydney, Frankston & Know in Melbourne, Colonades in Adelaide & just recently, their Brisbane store. Also, many other stores have been significantly downsized, such as Chermside, Adelaide, Belconnen, ACT (closed but reopened some floors), as well as their Melbourne and Sydney flagship stores which have also already been downsized. In addition, many other stores across Australia are also planned to be downsized or even closed over the next few years. It seems to me that maybe this is indicating the beginning of MYER's long decline. One thing that I am certain about, David Jones is going to have a great time without MYER up on the other end of Queen Street Mall.

Guess what. I suggested a proposal for Vicinity Centres for a combined Aquarium, Arcade, Indoor Ski-Field (A QLD First), Escape Room, Lazertag, and an Art-illusion (similar to Artvo on the Gold Coast). I called it Uptown Aquarius. And then just recently they replied to me with an email stating “Our Centre Management are delighted to say that we will consider transforming the old Myer space into something new & exciting and the team will take your proposal into strong consideration as part of a wider transformation turning Uptown into Brisbanes top destination again. We will keep you updated on what’s happening Uptown” I honestly think that they should adopt my proposal, because then it will certainly turn UPTOWN into a destination again instead of another ghost town thoroughfare.

That’s the point, it was turned into a thoroughfare to make it easier to access Roma Street Station from the Queen street mall to ease foot traffic through Anzac Arcade & Central Station .

@@electro_sykes There was no issue walking through there before.

I live in brissy and the place really needs to overhaul its public transport and roads and also needs to be cleaned up a bit and made fresh for the 2032 Olympics

have you ever thought that is why they are moving out

You could eat a steak in 30 seconds, or savour the flavour, enjoying each succulent bite over 10 minutes.

@@timecapsulecaptures9846 you can chew on a mcdonalds meat patty for 5 seconds until it loses flavour and you should swallow it. Or you can chew on it for another 15 seconds for no reason other to have the illusion of quality. The pause button exists and you lose alot of the impact of comparison taking so long.

l love Tamborine... its expensive to live there yeah??

@@CoMorbiditty It is unfortunately. The views and serenity are fabulous as is the wildlife. We have kookaburras and kangaroos and wallabies on our property (50 plus acres). The downside is having to drive to Yarrabilba or Beenleigh for shopping, but you plan ahead.

They really need a subway system to ease the traffic as one more lane won’t work anymore and we can’t just keep reclaiming houses and making more people homeless during a housing crisis

I'll try harder for part 2

@@timecapsulecaptures9846 yay!! I want to do something similar for Burleigh heads area

It was rebuilt for the Busway/future Metro.

They changed it because they were trying to make Brisbane basic and Australia’s most boring city

Agreed it’s stifling hot with all the pavers and concrete.

Brisbanites love their cars and many will even refuse to take public transport because that is for poor people and school gangs

@@electro_sykes it’s sad because public transport there is good although expensive. But I’m living in London atm and nothing compares to the outrageous price of public transport there. Here in Paris where I am currently, pt is affordable as is much the city offers compared to London.

The river is what necessitated the freeway placement. Where would you put it? I like cruising across the river and into town while joggers and basketballers play in the shade below.

This was my takeaway as well. Brisbane has a general lack of seating, unless of course it's part of the cafe that has taken up residence. part of BCC's plan to monetize every available space. It's better than Fortitude Valley, but only just. Such a waste.

Because it is to actually get people moving and driving

They do it to my be more crowds of people just like how Brisbane Metro is being built not to unclog busways but instead remove the buses to make more room on the streets above for cars

Yes, no pigeons shitting over everything.

@@davidhoward4715 Yeah like I said “sterile” and instead of pigeons some refugee decided to breed their homeland pets and introduced bin chicken “Ibises” instead .. It wasn’t your family member was it? 🤣

Have you seen photos of Brisbane in the early 1900s? The churches could all be seen from a distance, along with other prominent buildings. From Spring Hill you could see everything at a glance.

@@timecapsulecaptures9846 That's a very long time ago, whereas 1995 doesn't seem that long ago for those of us who trudged those streets on the way to QUT every day ;)

Definitely doomed as more and more people move in. Every historical building has a huge shadow cast over it by the copy and paste skyscrapers.

The process of destruction was started by the Bjelke-Peterson National Party government. And at the time this was popular with the voters. The people of today are nor responsible for the mistakes of the past.

I'm impressed by your technique. Did you come up with this?

@@timecapsulecaptures9846 Well, I worked out a way to do it, but I'm sure I'm not the only one doing it. I just haven't found others yet.

Have you both checked out the "Lost Brisbane" books? There's two of them filled with this stuff going back to the very beginning of the city. Some of my favourite books from my library.

Absolutely - a space that was clearly designed to attract people has become little more than a thoroughfare.

@@arthurwatts1680 if you follow the progression of changes they made after they turned the fountains off and the 2010 redevelopment. It was 100 percent to keep the emo scene kids from occupying the space.

It's an event space now??? The top section was last to change and it was so cluttered it was practically useless as the whole area had become a thorough fare. people who want parklands go precisely there, roma st, sth bank and garden point.

You're welcome.

Had a good laugh seeing it go from a temperance hostel to a bar/hostel combo in a little under 70 years. Surprised it took us that long!
