News
As reported last month, Cambridge Crossing shopping centre in Paulshof has finished its reconstruction. As listed below, several new tenants have moved in. The centre has also seen the return of two tenants that closed during the rebuilding: Golden Rose Chinese Restaurant & Sushi Bar, and Rawson Properties. Off The Grid Restaurant and Vet To Pet have moved opposite to the new (east) wing.
Meanwhile, under the alleged "management" of Broll, Morning Glen Mall continues to haemorrhage tenants. Following the apparent bankruptcy of Cafeum Diem last month, the Wimpy has now closed too. This leaves no restaurants on the lower level, and even more empty shops.

Restaurant Reviews by Judith Back to top
**** Pronto, The Colony, 345 Jan Smuts Ave, Craighall
The idea was for Rick to donate blood, hence we went to the Colony centre. I stayed downstairs and went to Pronto, a fairly new restaurant and ordered a lovely Protea Sauvignon Blanc with lots of ice, whilst waiting for him. Unfortunately his iron was too low for him to donate, so that part of the mission had to be abandoned. We decided to share the chicken breasts as they came with vegetables and chips. The latter were crispy as required! There was enough for two meals and two sets of crispy chips. Our waiter was Ali Mncedisi and very efficient
Pronto's has a non-smoking outside facing the car park as well as one for smokers facing the road. There is a large interior as well. We can recommend it for friendly service and excellent food.

**** Salsa Mexican Grill, Rivonia Village
Brand new and on the corner of Mutual Road and Rivonia Boulevard, Salsa presents a totally new way of eating! Check how hot the food is before ordering so that you don't get a shock! Fortunately I love hot but Rick doesn't. We ordered Appletiser and Darling Cellars Bush Vine Sauvignon Blanc --one I've not had before. A very pleasant wine and well priced, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
To eat, I had the Fajita Steak, which very good and Rick ordered beef strips and Guacamole. The latter I tried and it was very good as well. Rick found his dish unpleasantly hot. We were also taken aback at the idea of paying R15 for an empty bowl to put other food into.
This is a restaurant with a vibe, totally non-smoking and Simangaliso was an excellent waiter. Thoroughly recommend it for a great night out.

Civic News: Give your Comments on the City's Rates Policy
The City of Johannesburg invites all residents and interested parties to give input into the City’s Property Rates Policy, Review. This annual process ticks the boxes so that the municipality can later claim that residents have been consulted on the Rates Policy, and they can then pretend that the tariffs are equitable and affordable.

Region B: 19 February, 18:00-20:00 at Marks Park, Pavilion Hall, Judith Road, Emmarentia.

PleasBookdealers is in Rivonia
As mentioned last year, Bookdealers of Rivonia (formerly Gallo Manor) moved from Morning Glen Mall and reopened on 9 October at 40 Wessel Road, Rivonia, off 12th Ave (listed in Rivonia North Shops). This bookshop has a large variety of publishers' overstocks (remainders), extensive and interesting selection of rare and out-of-print, and second-hand books (which they also buy). Remember to take your loyalty card!
Overheard near the Checkout:
"This place looks very popular!"
"Yes, it is reassuring to know that lots of other people are making the same bad choices that we are..."
