NokYai611 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I’m sure I am not the only “Darkside” resident to note the ever increasing failure of the relatively new street lights. If it didn’t have safety implications it would be laughable - an appalling situation truly. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Swiss1960 Posted February 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2023 Nah, that's the charming side of this area, it lives up to its name. And besides... when I see the ladies sitting outside the bars, they probably don't want too much light anyway... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, nobody really wants to see the punters very clearly either! 1 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a couple more nice restaurants on this side and the crossings would reduce even more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NokYai611 Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 Well …..good to know so many neighbors seem to appreciate the darkness of the “Darkside”. The other “dark” implication (besides safety) of these failing (relatively) new street lights is the possible/likely corruption associated with purchasing/installing lights which quickly go belly up.

I think you have plenty choice over on the darkside... and easy to get to..... where I am North of town we lost a lot of eating places due to Covid, and a couple more never recovered and faded away soon after. Mostly just little noodle outlets left. Getting across Hwy 36 can be difficult and risky early evenings! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the week I have to get up to take the daughter to school, so no late one's then but do wonder over some weekend's. However, when any mates come over It's a different story. Got a couple coming over in 2 weeks, so i'll be suffering then. Was across there last month and Ricky Hatton was in a bar, he saw my Man City phone cover and said "nice one blue" so I had a piccie with him.

There are some fairly good eateries over here and I try to support those but sometimes the need for variety takes me over the road. Never go across on a motorbike though.

newnative Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I guess it depends where on the Darkside you are at. My partner and I are next to Lake Mabprachan near the motorway and new street lights were recently installed on a stretch of Road 3240 where we are. We noticed today that they were just turned on--so our neck of the woods is getting a little brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never one for riding out on the M/C at night but would go to places within a Km or two with her on the back... more recently, I feel less confident at night and traffic seems worse, so I decided we are safer in the truck. Struggle to park at so many places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
