The Advertiser: At this bar, drinks are on the roof [28jan05]: "back"

The Majestic is just that, a lovely majestic place with a solid place in Adelaide. We have made some bold moves lately. I do not approve of chopping all the trees on North Terrace.It has made it far too stark and hot. Maybe the improvements , whatever they are, will be welcome. I go into town and find things have totally changed but we never know what the plans are and how it will look. I'd like to be shown what thh differences will be. People seem to really appreciate the change in Hutt Street and Gouger Street is certainly taking on a life of its own which people love. The roof top bar seems to me to be a great concept for Adelaide because we have fantastic views and the weather can be very accommodating to outside activities. I don't think we make the most of the open air. Sun safety and all of that can be included in the concepts. I have no idea why this bar has been " a bone of contention." I hate articles like this where you get a hint or a clue and then you are supposed to ESP the rest. So what are the problems and what are the options? Give us some facts, pictures and information. Russell Strake is right. Some people go out to be in the crowd and the melee. Others like the feel and buzz of the crowd but they want a spot to call their own to talk with friends, loved ones. Compulsory socialising is not good.
