The old RIVOLI THEATRE on the corner of Kent & Brunswick Streets has finally been given a make-over, after a lengthy stint as the Bates Motel. But sadly, it's not going to be the retail precinct we all thought, and hoped it would be.
Instead, an IGA is taking form and will soon open. On discovering this, I needed immediate resusciation, just like years ago, when seven/eleven opened where the California Cafe used to be.....heartbreaking indeed!
Now, don't get me wrong, I like somewhere to go at three in the morning for that post party appertizer, or the first edition of the Sunday papers, but why did it have to go here?
For years we've waited to see what would become of this historic site, and again, we're dissappointed...it won't be long before the IGA resembles WOLF CREEK like it's poor arse cousin down the street.
You should never Judge a Book by it's Cover, but sometimes, you just have to Judge Away!!!

I totally agree. Nothing ever seems to live up to expectations in this city. We're promised so much, but then it's always under delivered. Look at Queens Plaza!

Yes, give it a couple of months and the new IGA will be as dirty and unsafe as the nightowl on brunswick street. let's hope the staff are nicer to ease the pain!
yeah, won't be long untill the place is hooker/junkie-ville!!
As said in the article...I agree with you all. Sometimes, we don't want a side of skank to go with our Barbeque Shapes!!!
IGA is better then Nightowl, but I tend to agree, no matter how pretty yuo make it, eventually, it's gonna turn ugly!!!!
sometimes it's hard to distinguish the staff from the customer at nightowl! if you wanna sober up in a hurry, go to nightowl on brunswick st or at highgate hill. it's like being in uglytown!
it is sad, my grandparents went to the old rivoli theatre, and now all it's come down to is iced coffee and chips!!
fucking sad!
They should rename it THE REVOLTING THEATRE. hahahahahaha.
hahahahahahahahahahaahahah. dave.
IGA in the old Rivoli??
yuk!
there's a nice gourmet section in there, and it's really handy. there's security and it feels nicer then anything else around!!
The whole theatre will be full of food outlets!! Even 'Baskin Robbins"!!!
It's a good idea, and it is alot cleaner and safer then the nightowl....but for how long?
