Killarney Shops rocked by pizza scandal

A much loved part of the Killarney shopping experience was the friendly Twigs & Blossoms couture store which professionally and in a friendly way supplied us with a variety of interesting clothes and miscellaneous goods not including twigs.

Locals were shocked to see the note shown here in the window alleging that the land lord had unreasonably not given the store the ability to reasonably renew the lease.

Liz sold up remaining stock at a significant discount and was seen sadly packing up and even selling off shop fittings marking the end of a physical shop and moving to their online operation.

She was a very friendly shop keeper, a credit to the area and will be greatly missed.

More shocking is the rumour that the shop is to be turned in to a pizza restaurant. We already have a pizza restaurant so this was a bit of a surprise. When I enquired what the proprietor at Sorrenti's Pizza thought of this he said, sarcastically, it's a "genius move".

Now that the shop is empty, it's clear that the pizza rumour may well be true as the floor has been marked out and one of the areas seems to say "Gelato".

But all is clearly not going to plan as now the shop is marked as available for lease!

We will have updates as they come to hand.

Close royal links to Killarney revealed

Killarney Heights resident Brian Wild has revealed to News Corp journalists that he was part of a secret operation to smuggle the future Princess Diana out of Australia in a luxury Toyota Corona.

Brian bravely escorted Dianna and her mother to the airport to catch a special Qantas flight.

During the three hours that Brian spent with the pair he clearly gave the young Dianna some sage advice as it was just a month later that she announced that she intended to marry in to the royal family.

There is no doubt that the extraordinary tales of excitement experienced right here in Killarney Heights primed the pump for the popular princess.

As a gesture of thanks, Brian and his wife Joy were sent a piece of wedding cake which, despite its age, is reported to still smell ok. Brian, it's time to eat that cake.

Suspects named in horrific double murder

Rosie and Peggy were murdered right on Starkey street. Carmel is fine, although in shock presumably, but Liquorice was injured in the vicious attack. She has received the best of medical care.

Suspects at this stage are either a feral cat or perhaps a fox.

Personally, I think a rabbit could be the ring leader calling in the "hit" to point the finger at foxes which seem to be getting the upper hand recently.

On behalf of all of the photographers, writers, sub-editors, executive editors, social media wranglers, managers and staff here at the Killarney Heights Suburb blog our sincere condolences to the friends of these beloved chickens.

Moving floral tributes continue to be left at the sight of the slaughter.

Reports are coming in to the blog that another two chickens in Connemara Ave were also taken at about the same time.

Cyclone Debbie hits Killarney hard

Traffic chaos expected in busy Killarney street

This breaking news from a keen eyed reader of the Killarney Heights blog.

"Traffic chaos predicted due to apparently abandoned vehicle in the middle of a busy Killarney street. Owner urged to come forward to avoid removal by council".

Pedestrians have had to carefully choose their walk to avoid collision with dangerously parked vehicles such as this.

Update

A second vehicle has been added to what authorities now believe to be an orchestrated campaign of civil disobedience in Killarney Heights.

Killarney no longer the entertainment capital of the north

What will the residents do for entertainment now that the last local video store has closed?

It seems like only yesterday when there was a golden era and two shops served Forestville. You could get both kinds of video entertainment - Beta and VHS.

Top Video was interesting in that their system involved paying when you returned the video, presumably as late fees were common. The store featured a top shelf packed with more "adult" titles for discerning locals.

Promotional movie posters were for sale on a table out the front but regrettably this local business appears to be gone.

Shop owner, John Miller, is reported to have served customers including local ex-prime minister Tony Abbott for more than 40 years, but when he fell out with him over his "childish" nature, the writing was on the wall.

Be kind, rewind.

Power outage returns Killarney to the dark ages

A falling branch on December 29 in Connemara Avenue causes a short circuit between two phases leading to spectacular sparks further down the road.



Neighbours emerged from their houses to compare notes. It seems many of us now have more than one phase connected and did not suffer a complete outage.
