DNS revisits That Pizza

Residential Thoughts

It has been seven months since our man of many talents Daniel Clark stepped up to the plate and tried Pizzas from That Pizza to see if the wait for the shop to open was worth it.

As some readers may recall, the judgement of the test was that it was ‘F**king Amazing’ which is very high praise from our guru.

Tonight we check in once again with the man as he has another Pizza to see if things are still the same.

Previously the choice of Pizza was BBQ Meatlovers and tonight’s choice of Pizza is none other than the classic of classics, Hawaiian.

The Pizza didn’t have more oil than a Car Engine which is always a great sign and the taste was just right which is always pleasing.

The box is still considered a little flimsy but the Pizza Saver was included this time ensuring that overall the store retains it’s ‘F**king Amazing’ rating.

Don’t forget you can call That Pizza on 5881 8480, visit them at 396 Cressy Street or visit the website.

This concludes our review series on That Pizza and potentially everywhere else unless we discover something really tasty of course because we only want to dish out praise.

NOTE: Pizzas brought and eaten on own accord, all thoughts are independent and without any reward.

SWM needs your help

News

South West Music is currently conducting a survey to see what sort of live music events people want to see in Deniliquin and the local area.

The survey is located on this link and there is a chance to win a $100 EFTPOS Gift Card upon completion of the survey.

Questions in the survey include the following

What types of music would you like to see more of?
What types of concerts do you prefer?
Remembering the best concert you have ever been to – what about it did you love?
What is your dream concert, performer or venue?
Is there a past concert series artist you would like to see perform locally again?
Do you have any suggestions for future SWMRC concerts?

DNS hopes that South West Music gets plenty of answers to help them put on successful events and showcase local music talent as well as introducing talent from afar to the local area.

Deni Speaks (29/5/17)

News

May 29 2017

In this edition of Deni Speaks, we posted four questions on our website for readers to answer and we can now discuss the outcome of the voting.

Questions asked

1. Deniliquin Swim Centre needs…..
2. Does Deniliquin need a Dog Park?
3. Does Deniliquin need Natural Gas?
4. Does Deniliquin need a Kmart

Results

43% of residents think the Swim Centre should be a Splash Park, 32 think the pools need to be indoors like Echuca and 25% just want general upgrades and maintenance and 0% said they should leave it as it is.

64% of voters said that Deniliquin needs a Dog Park.

89% of voters said that Deniliquin needs Natural Gas.

74% of voters said that Deniliquin needs Kmart.

Conclusion

Whilst it was not a majority, a splash park seems to be on the minds of locals and as we all know the train is starting to make its way down the track to fruition but whether it will make it all the way is another question.

A Dog Park seems to be the easiest of all wants and needs as there is plenty of space for an enclosed space to safely walk dogs around and should not cost the ERC too much if they give it a shot.

Natural Gas will be a problem to achieve as one of our loyal readers has found out that it would be a massive expense to connect Deniliquin to Natural Gas and then the town would need qualified and accredited gas fitters to install the meters and the town would need to have trained repairers to fix gas leaks.

After all that it would cost $3000+ to have a house connected and then you got to have appliances to use Natural Gas and all of the above would scare people off.

Now to Kmart, the fact that 75% of locals who answered our question want Kmart serves as an indicator that Kmart has what Deniliquin hasn’t and a shrewd business should work double time to find out what Kmart has that Deniliquin shoppers want and bring it to their store because any attempt to bring Kmart to Deniliquin would be met with heavy resistance because of Kmart’s big range of stuff in the one place and a wise business wouldn’t want valuable dollars going elsewhere.

We’ll be back soon with a new edition of Deni Speaks.
