It's a really cool idea - lots of North American places could benefit from something like it I think, especially on weekends when downtown areas quiet down.

I don't consider Hillbrow is a dangerous area. It's looking good, clear blue sky, sweet air to breathe freely, historical buildings, skyscrapers, nice people smiling and saying hello each other...why dangerous and infamous...blame on fake news and media.

why is it called the city of gold? Either way... these are nice photos. thank you for sharing.

This thread is superb. I stumbled on it rather late (clicking on the OP's link below his sig), but better late than never. Love the narrative accompanying the photos. As of late, I have been fascinated with Joburg, and especially Hillbrow.

Thank you for the tour, it looks like an interesting dynamic place.
