I joined a Johannesburg Heritage Foundation tour of three quirky mansions on Linksfield Ridge designed by architect Gerald Gordon.

In the most recent installment of my Hidden Joburg series I visit the Freemasons' Hall in Parktown, designed by Gordon Leith in the 1950s.

In the latest installment of my Hidden Joburg series, I visit the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saints Constantine and Helen, in Hillbrow.

I visited the View, a historic Victorian mansion in Parktown, with the Joburg Heritage Foundation. One more Hidden Joburg spot off the list!

I visited Glenshiel, a historic Herbert Baker home in Westcliff, and then remembered my 2019 visit to Villa Arcadia, another Baker home.

I spent the night at one of the African Penthouses at 87 Commissioner Street. It was a great night out in downtown Joburg.

Thorsten and I explored the old Johannesburg Gas Works several month ago. I don't recommend others doing this but I want to share the photos.

Benoni's Shiva Temple boasts the tallest Shiva-Shakti statue in Africa. The temple is a great place to learn about Tamil religion/culture.

Ten years after my Jeppestown photo exhibition, I returned to the City Hall men's clothing shop and the Jozi Mall on MacIntyre Street.

I visited Arniston for two days and was blown away by the town's history, culture, and astonishing beauty.

Thorsten and I went for dinner at Johnny Guitar Drive-in, a Roadhouse in Alberton. We had a great time, despite the power outage.

I visited 56 Jorissen Street, a new student residence in Braamfontein, earlier this week. The views are amazing.
