Harrys Cafe De Wheels

Fabian · October 21st, 2007, 04:38 AM

This is akin to what we see across the harbour at Luna Park!!!

Are the locals stupid or what?

They want one of our most famous icons in Sydney to move from it's location at Wooloomoloo - Harrys Cafe De Wheels.

The suburb is centred around this icon

Why?

It's too noisy as late night revellers tuck into their world famous pies, and believe that it causes congestion on local roads and produce alot of litter.

It should stay there. You just don't move these icons, and hey weren't they there first????

I don't understand.
Is the one in Wooloomooloo closing down?

The locals want it shut down

Most of them live in apartments on the Wharf

Exactly ... the food provider was there first ... fuck thes residents.

The other Harry's out here in Liverpool seems to be going well- obviously not as well as the Original- but here its tucked in between the Megacenta and the now closed down Orange Grove Designer Outlets, so there's no residents to complain.

It would be a shame to see the original move though- its an icon, and like all have said- there waaaay before many of the objectees moved in.

Russell Crowe lives in an apartment in the wharf doesn't he. I wonder if he'd be pro or against Harry's?

Messed Up · October 22nd, 2007, 08:42 AM

How long has it been in that location for? Must be 50+ years. Surely it is a Sydney institution. How many are there in Sydney? I know that there is one on the foreshore in Newcastle aswell.

Fabian · October 22nd, 2007, 01:48 PM

There's another one at Haymarket outside the Capitol Theatre.

In other news, Sydney Harbour is to be drained because residents in the surrounding areas believe the watercraft are making too much noise.

Naturally, I'm not being at all serious in posting this.

I was just about to say the same thing, but say it's near Paddy Maguires.

Just shows how we're different people.

Fabian · October 22nd, 2007, 02:36 PM

Just found a shot the Haymarket store I took last year

It has been a Sydney icon since 1945

Ipggi · October 24th, 2007, 02:14 PM

It was originally founded in Woolloomooloo in 1938, closed during the war (as Harry served in the war) and re-opened in it's current location in 1945.

I am curious as to where this movement of residents wanting it closed is coming from? There have been no new residential developments in the area for a near decade.

I do admit though the area is very noisy on weekends in whats normally a quiet residential suburb. I live in Potts Point and can always hear the noise perpetuated from the area well into the early mornings. It's loud enough that I am considering installing doubling glazing windows and I am elevated, about 200m+ away.

I don't think it should be moved, but maybe it should close at an earlier hour. At around the same time as all the severs of liquor in the area have to do. I mean Harry's history was serving lunch for local wharf workers, not drunkard louts at 4am.

Fabian · October 24th, 2007, 02:20 PM

They are all coming from apartments in the Wharf. However some within the complex led by John Laws want it to stay

sydney_lad · October 25th, 2007, 03:26 AM

Look, there are nimbys and there are downright selfish, miserable cunts. These people are certainly the latter.

I understand people not wanting a highway or train line going right past their home but for fucks sake this is just ridiculous.

Why didn't these dimwits buy a place near a quiet area in the first place?

This isn't as bad as the Luna Park twats but they're definitily in the same league.

Fabian · October 30th, 2007, 01:51 AM

The residents have lost their battle with the council meaning that it won't be going anywhere and will have trading hours extended.

Anyone up for a pie

Muse · October 30th, 2007, 02:07 AM

Cool. Gimme a floater with mash ´n peas now!

New city & inner-city residents just don´t get it. They move closer in & expect the same environments as they did in the outer suburbs. Ahem, reality check!

"You can take the girl out of the country, but you can´t take the country out of the girl" is the expression.

Anyway, go Harrys!

Ipggi · October 30th, 2007, 11:19 PM

What I don't get is if you serve liquor in that area (Wooloomoollooo) you are forced to close earlier then in the near by entertainment districts or CBD because your operating in a designated residential area. Yet something like Harry's which attracts the exact same crowd can open till 4am. Right across the road though the nearby Bells and Tilbury Hotels, are forced to close at 12am.

el-capitano · October 31st, 2007, 12:41 AM

People dont get drunk and aggressive on pies

Ipggi · October 31st, 2007, 01:57 AM

No thats because they feel like pies when they are already drunk and occasionally in aggressive moods.
