Swany05 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Awesome pic but just imagine what it must be like to stay in such a densely populated place   Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/102931-i-have-an-idea-for-a-new-thread/page/4216/#findComment-3460507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted February 18, 2019 Share Awesome pic but just imagine what it must be like to stay in such a densely populated place Looks like a rectangular version of the Ponti City building in Hillbrow. Last time I heard it had developed a major garbage dump in the inner ground floor area as a result of trash being tossed from the upper floors. I wonder if the owners have fixed it yet?

Lotus Posted February 18, 2019 Share .Is that really the interior? And why am I even asking about a meme? Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/102931-i-have-an-idea-for-a-new-thread/page/4216/#findComment-3460524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marshall Posted February 18, 2019 Share Looks a bit more upmarket than the Kowloon walled city - demolished in 1993. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/102931-i-have-an-idea-for-a-new-thread/page/4216/#findComment-3460536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston ZA Posted February 18, 2019 Share Is that really the interior? And why am I even asking about a meme?Don't think it is. The windows and door placement don't match. Still cool though Allrounder 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/102931-i-have-an-idea-for-a-new-thread/page/4216/#findComment-3460539 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the owners have fixed it yet?To my knowledge that was sorted out a while ago. Not sure what it's like now though.

I wonder if the owners have fixed it yet? It was cleaned up in 2001 when the new owners took over.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 18, 2019 Share Is that really the interior? And why am I even asking about a meme?Short answer: No, it's not.  Long answer: Looks like one of those Airstream jobs, going by the curved rear glass and elongated porthole windows above the sink Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/102931-i-have-an-idea-for-a-new-thread/page/4216/#findComment-3460581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokman Posted February 18, 2019 Share Looks like a rectangular version of the Ponti City building in Hillbrow. Last time I heard it had developed a major garbage dump in the inner ground floor area as a result of trash being tossed from the upper floors. I wonder if the owners have fixed it yet?We just drove past it yesterday and it gives me the creeps. As a high school boy we watched it being built. Mate of mine lived in Hillbrow. It was initially designed as modern , all in one , hip place to live.In the early 1980's I worked for a flooring co. that did some repairs and tiling there.Looking down fifty or so storeys into that dark core scared the dinges out of me. You see the actual rocks of the koppie it's built on in the middle. For me it was like something out of a dark futuristic film.

Piston ZA Posted February 18, 2019 Share Reminds me of that one apartment block in the newer Judge Dredd film. Not saying it was the same building, but wasn't that filmed in SA?
