What are they thinking?

How to get more shoppers into Rundle Mall.  First of all take up the paving. Good idea Council at least you have that right.   Remove coffee shops, fruit and veg shops plus the tourist shop and the beginning of the mall.   Shove the Mall's Balls 'The Spheres' down to one end.  If Flugelmen was dead he would turn over in his grave.  Are they going to take away the John Dowie, 'Girl on a Slide' and the 'A day Out' pigs sculptures?

The Council want to open up the mall to more shoppers and tourists.  They want to provide entertainment area. If they do have an entertainment area are the buskers going to be able to use it. Why not ban buskers altogether?  You really cannot have them taking up space in the mall.

And so to the last question why would anyone want to shop in the mall when the ambiance is gone?  Gone will be the days when people going home from work can quickly pick up vegies and not have to troop in to the big shops.  Gone will be the days of husbands who have annoyed their wives picking up some flowers to smooth things over at home.  Clear out the mall ergo clear out the people.  The mall will be the biggest white elephant in town.

What were the Council thinking; the truth is that they don't think. I don't want the mall to change but if and when it does I want to be the first to say, "I told you so."

P.S.  It has come to pass that the Council have indeed emptied the Mall of shops and stalls, relegated the Malls Balls (The Spheres) to another placement, and separated the pigs.  The pigs were meant to be an installation.  The title of the pig sculpture is "A Day Out", obviously the pigs have all gone their merry way and  agreed to meet later at the Balls like everyone else in Adelaide does.

Where have all the shoppers gone, gone to look for a mall with comfortable seats and trees with shade. Gone to a Mall where one can sit and have a drink, buy some flowers and vegetables and get information about Adelaide.  The Council ensures that Adelaide lives up to its name of being the most boring capital city in Australia.
