I have been wanting to take a trip out to New Brighton to visit the Red Location Museum for a while now, but everyone I spoke to was worried about the safty aspect. Haha... no worries, today, on spur of the moment, three girls : Chrisma, Hayley and myslef went! (And yes - we got a bit lost!!)But oh my! INSPIRATION for the NATION! We couldn't believe the architecture and design, how they made "shack pods" to house different functions and genres. I couldn't take enough photos! We couldn't believe that we were in the middle of a location in Port Elizabeth. I was so proud! I will upload photos later.
We then went to Chrisma's site, a road down from the location. Its a beautiful (rundown) warehouse with Industrial Victorian gables. Perfect for her function. It was a bit of an eye-opener to see how the "other half" live, sad but yet its a tight and strong community. We were told to stay in our car and to drive around the building to take photos, which we did. The kids flocked to us like bees to honey, all wanting to be in our photograohs. Thank goodness we had a packet of biscuits in the car with us, as we ended up giving them the whole packet!
Take a drive out to New Brighton and go and see the Red Location Museum! Its amazing and clear to see why they have won so many awards... off to research about it more now!
Salani Kahule!
