I don’t really know what to say’, but P says, ”
Oldfield Knott Architects propose a rework of the Peninsula Tavern site (owned by ALH Group), which looks more like Galleria Shopping Centre with a Dan Murphies tacked on to the side. ”
If shedist architects start taking notice of this blog, the the future of the city is going to be fucking magnificent! Anyone have a shot of the New Pen proposal? Whatever it looks like, will be nice to have somewhere to wait sipping a Fluffy Duck waiting for a Mad Kuntz booth to free up.
Wait, they cite this blog and then put fucking Cocoses in the artist impression? And another thing. It is nowhere near the actual Maylands Peninsula.

What really needs to happen is that the original pub, now Dome, becomes the ppub again. Raze the Pen and put some big screens and grass in and make it an entertainment activation node.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the Maylands Peninsula (actual, not booze-addled) seen from the air looks massively scrotey? Nature’s own C&B – perhaps a likeness could be the new Pen’s logo? Bar staff to wear on white polo shirts &c.

The original proposal back in 2008 or something was going to be much better. New pub, bottle shop and apartments. Four or five storeys. Was scuppered by the GFC though apparently. So replace run down piece of crap with a new piece of shit instead. Shame.
