On the 1 of March 24 years ago I got the key to 90 William Street in Paddington to open the doors to the first second hand shoe shop in Australia. I also got my first taste living in a terrace house above the shoe shop. They were exciting times, everything was new, I had no idea what I was in for and I was glad I didn’t. I took the plunge and haven’t regretted it since. Matter of fact it has taught me many lessons and still does and I got through many trials and tribulations. I loved living above the shop, it was such a cool feeling to live and work in the same place. I fell in love with the small suburb Paddington and the community embraced me. 24 years later today on the 24th of March we both celebrate our Birthday in the most uncertain and trying times we ever encountered, due to the COVID19 crisis, “Don’t Panic”, the show must go on and it will. We are still open, but the trading hours are strictly by appointment till the 31th of March. Your and my safety and the greater community is our immediate priority. I will keep you updated how we are going to trade from the 1st of April onwards, but encourage you to check our already existing online store on www.pelleshoes.com.au We will endeavour to update our Instagram @pelle_shoes and @pelle-shoes-4-shopaholics, as per usual on a daily basis, which is linked to our website.

Kings Cross was once crammed with theatres and cinemas. A surviving relic is the Art Deco Metro building, located on Orwell Street in Potts Point. Designed by Bruce Dellit in 1937, construction took one-year and the theatre opened in 1939. Previously known as the Minerva Theatre, it was part of a live entertainment complex called the Minerva Centre. This consisted of the Minerva Theatre, The Minerva Cafe and Nightclub (later the 2KY radio studios) and Metro Chambers, an office and apartment building. They were all designed to sit harmoniously on blocks of land fronted by Macleay Street and continuing down Orwell Street. In the 1960s it was the venue for the musical Hair. The musical opened in 1969 and had six African Americans in its cast including singer Marcia Hines, who was 16. The production ran until 1971 despite initial fears it would be censored or shut down. Greater Union bought the building in the 1970s and continued live performances with occasional film screenings. In 1979, the building was sold to become a supermarket and was stripped of its fittings. The supermarket failed in the early 1980s. The building remained empty until it was bought in 1982 and was converted into a soundstage and recording facility. It has been restored and is the headquarters of Kennedy Miller, makers of the Mad Max, Happy Feet and Babe movies. While you can no longer see films at the Metro, the building has been featured in various films and music videos #hiddensydney #PottsPoint #KingsCross #EastSydney #MetroTheatre #MinervaTheatre #OrwellStreet #theatre #ArtDeco #architecture #live #entertainment #cafe #nightclub #musical #hair #production #fears #controversial #censored #performances #restored #headquarters #films #movies (at 24 Orwell Street)

Harry's Cafe de Wheels is the iconic pie cart located in Woolloomooloo near Finger Wharf and Fleet Base East. Dating back to the Depression and frequented by cabbies, sailors, party crowds and celebrities, it became part of the city's nightlife due to its late-night meals. Harry 'Tiger' Edwards opened the original caravan cafe, named 'Harry's' in 1938 near the gates of the Woolloomooloo Naval Yard. Edwards served with the AIF in WWII and during this time the cafe was not operational. While in the Middle East, Harry was nicknamed 'Tiger' due to his boxing prowess. Upon his return in 1945, the cafe re-opened and has operated since. The name Harry's Cafe de Wheels was a result of a 1940s council requirement that mobile food caravans had to move a minimum of 30cm each day. The rule was obeyed and the name was changed. The name again changed temporarily to 'Cafe de Axle' when the wheels were stolen. The van later attracted fame as a tourist attraction and was frequented by celebrities including Frank Sinatra, Elton John and Marlene Dietrich. In 1974, Colonel Sanders ate a pie at the cafe and a picture of his visit still hangs in the caravan. Harry operated the caravan for a further 30 years before selling the business to Alex Kuronya in 1975. In 1970, current owner Michael Hannah returned from a tour of duty in Vietnam and his first stop after disembarking the HMAS Sydney was Harry's. In 1988 he made an offer to buy the business and the exchange took place on Australia Day 1988. The cafe still specialises in the same basic food that was popular in the 1940s, including pies and mushy peas. During the 1970s the cafe introduced hot dogs, mostly to appeal to American sailors, although its pies remained a staple favourite.
