Woollahra local history plaque scheme comes to Paddo ...

Sadly not to Cambridge St, or just yet anyway - we did get 2 on the shortlist!  See the full list below.  But the local heritage plaque scheme that we mentioned in October last year has announced the first 4 plaques.  The first one has already been unveiled in Watsons Bay and Rudy Komon's plaque (see above for details) will be unveiled in the new year (I think in March '14 to coincide with Art Month).  The Rudy Komon art gallery at 124 Jersey Road is now the endota day spa.

Nominations are again now open for the next round of plaques (the Council will make another 4 next year) so once again lets get some Paddington (and Cambridge St) entries in there.  Here is the link to the online nomination form.

Even more corner store ...

So here is another view of Paddington by Cedric Emanuel.  This time it looks like he is on Hargrave Street, looking towards Cascade and Gurner streets.  If you look carefully, apart from noticing the lack of cars on the streets, you will see the Cambridge street corner store on the right hand side.  This came up on ebay a few months ago.  I then tried to replicate the view today and realised Cedric took a little bit of artistic licence with this work - there was no angle I could find on Hargrave Street that allowed me a view of the Cambridge Street shop.
