Hello everyone in Adelaide, or who have been to Adelaide, or want to go! Or anyone in small towns who may understand the plight.

Adelaide is a small city and we don't have that much to show tourists, if we're being completely honest. And therefore the loss of another thing to do with visiting friends is something to be mourned. We have external glass lifts in our mall (closed off shopping street) in the city centre, that gives a fantastic view.

Joe Emmanuel saw some glass lifts installed overseas, and had the design duplicated and built in Adelaide in the early 1980's. They were originally intended as a tourist attraction.

Lately Management of the building has been getting more and more annoyed with people having their traditional rides up the glass lifts (yes, it really is a tradition, particularly for small children, and to show to visitors) and recently they have added a big red sign right in the middle of the glass, saying that "Joyriding is forbidden!" and that it's for business ONLY and trespassers will be prosecuted, etc.

There is now a petition that will be given to the management, to encourage them to see the lifts as an asset rather than an annoyance, and to encourage looking at other alternatives rather than banning people from using it.


Don't let them take it away without a protest. Please sign the petition, and please, pass it on to your friends and family, and repost this around the internet. There's also a facebook group for it.
