Although it is interesting to note, in the same vein…… that at least one local supermarket, Fresh Choice, has a commitment to do something similar. Good on them I say. #gigatownNSN

Pretty Impressive are the new Stoke 1 and Stoke 2….

…especially since these have been a couple of decades in coming to fruition .. but sincerely…..one thing I do lament is the passing of the old “siren”  the distinguishing of the old suburb wide “alarm.” Growing up with it, and the Tuesday 7pm siren are …. from now…. consigned to history. Sad thou.

Note the number plates?
