Happy Valley is one of the real Port Elizabeth institutions. We all went there as children and its great to be able to take our children there these days. For the decade or so Happy Valley has had a terrible reputation and very few people ever went there. Three or four years ago all the characters were fixed up again and this year the stolen electricity infrastructure has finally been replaced. The characters received a new coat of paint and two security guards are on duty in Happy Valley at all times. Happy Valley is finally “open for business” again. This is my favourite picture from our walk up the other morning.
I watched the TV drama with the same name earlier this year. Dark and brilliant.
