The best of almost everything in Sydney, as voted by locals
If you could set up some sort of public humiliation ceremony in the city for a Sydney celebrity – who would it be, and why?
C’mon, everyone’s got their favourite Sydney twat they love to hate. So here’s your chance to convince everyone else.
By the way, this is the last question for April – so go back over the last month’s posts, and vote on the comments you like best. The most popular answer on each post will be announced shortly!
If you’re going through a challenging day and find yourself stuck in the city – where do you retreat to?
Is there a hidden pub or shop that makes for a excellent little chill out zone?
Perhaps there’s a particular little area of a particular park near the city that’s excellent to relax in.
Or perhaps you’ve found a little location inside a building that makes for a good silent thinking place.
HEY! It could happen if they get low enough ratings and need to run a special series in Australia! Baywatch did it, and that was ALL class.
So what’s the Sydney-based disaster that Jack Bauer and the CTU crew would avert – or fail to avert?
Nobody knows how they came to be, but we’ve all heard of a crazy Sydney urban legend.
Maybe it’s real, maybe it’s clearly been proven wrong… maybe it’s such a terrifyingurban legend that you’re simply not sure what to make of it. We’ve heard about them all – ghostly presences, graveyards, weird happenings from Sydney’s past coming back to haunt us all…
Have you heard a corker Sydney urban legend from a mate – the type of thing you’d read about on Snopes.com? Let us all know here, and, ah… continue the misinformation!
Oh boy, I’m going to hope that everyone’s minds aren’t in the gutter, and this doesn’t turn out to be the worst question I’ve added…
So – if you could turn invisible, what would you do in Sydney?
Would you sneak into the halls of state parliament and observe the secret goings-on behind closed doors?
Perhaps you’d spend your time tripping over public transport ticket inspectors.
Or should I simply acknowledge the fact that most of you would head straight to the changerooms of your favourite sporting team, to watch everyone in the showers?
After you’ve lived in a suburb long enough, you begin to accumulate a few local’s secrets.
Maybe it’s a hidden store, scenic spot, or hard-to-find pub that only locals know about.
Perhaps it’s an awesome shop or cafe that treats the regular locals particularly well.
Is there a certain local way of doing certain things in your area?
Or perhaps you’ve got a celebrity living nearby that everyone knows about, but keeps tight-lipped about.
Every Sydney suburb has its own local’s secrets – but maybe it’s time to share the knowledge around with others…
Sydney has a small amount of odd structures – what do you believe is the biggest eye-sore?
Perhaps you believe some of our newer buildings to be dreadful. Or perhaps a structure that’s older that is rather awful.
Whether it’s in the city or your local suburb, list the ugliest structure below.
Who brews the best coffee in Sydney? How to find a good coffee house can be a bit of a mystery, so we’re on a mission!
There’s plenty of talented baristas around Sydney and the surrounding inner city, so here’s your chance, coffee snobs! If you’re sick of using a coffee machine, share the greatest cafes in the city for great java below.
Make sure you explain why your chosen favourite are so fantastic. The city’s fellow caffeine freaks will be grateful.
