New Japanese Restaurant coming to Hornsby

Looks like Hornsby is getting a new Japanese restaurant called KIMONO in Coronation St sometime soon?

I was walking back from TAFE and saw the sign going up the other day.

Mori in the same street and Asahi around the corner will be getting competition.

Let's hope the owners have something new to offer ?

Hornsby also has Hanaya further up the highway and 4 Japanese / Korean shops in the food court at Westside plus Tokyo Ramen and 2 more sushi takeway places downstairs on the bottom level.

Should be interesting to see what they have to offer? More sushi or something different?

Occupy Hornsby Park Protestor

Lately we have been seeing Occupy London and Wall Street and Sydney but we already have resident protestors in Hornsby park! This resident protestor for avian rights was occupying the pergola over the walkway and carefully watching me watch him or her with my camera!

I wondering how the demolition and construction crews for the Pool and CWA will cope with a flock of irate cockatoos? I doubt the mob of sulphur crested cockatoos who come up from Galston Gorge or wherever it is they roost at night will be very pleased to see the park altered. It's one of the places they visit for grass seed. Then again maybe the workers might feed them and that'll stop them chewing on people's outdoors timber furnishings trim and other woodwork?

Actually given that the park is using as a bus stop by interstate and country buses I'm surprised no one's thought of setting up a bird feeding station for the local pigeons, cockatoos, and other birds, as a tourist attraction?

followers however few forgive gap in posts had ISP and other problems last week

oh that westfield food court "ambiance"

To the joy and horror of shoppers at Westfield Mall in Hornsby the food court is being given new ambiance!

At least that's what manangement calls it. Ambiance however apparently means LESS seats than before. Seats with padded backing ripped out and EVEN less seats for single dining since people in groups grab the chairs and move them to larger tables. Oh there are a few more tables but ... the school holiday crowding is even worse now!

Well I went down to the office to complain. They claim .... hard to believe ... that school holidays and xmas are the only time they could get the tables and seats "upgraded". On the positive side they did say more seats have been ordered. Meanwhile it takes twice as long to find a seat and with the bad weather we've been giving.

NOT HAPPY HORNSBY WESTFIELD!
