I had an amazing opportunity to go to the top of the Sentech Tower, aka the Brixton Tower, which hardly anybody ever gets to do.

During the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation's annual Heritage Weekend, I walked through two of historic middle-class suburbs, Killarney and Forest Town.

I had a behind-the-scenes look at the Jeppe Post Office, built in 1935 and still running, including its beautiful Art Deco fixtures and underground tunnel.

I shot a few photos of Joburg from the 13th floor of the Ansteys Building, the city's most prominent and legendary Art Deco high-rise.

In celebration of Heritage Day, the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation put on a bonanza of historical tours all over the city. I chose three.

A quick review of Capital Cafe, a new, hidden coffeeshop in Corner House, a historic building in downtown Johannesburg.

I spontaneously visited the Imbali Building, a 15-storey apartment building nicknamed "Mini Ponte", in Joburg's Berea neighborhood.

I had a behind-the-scenes look at No. One Eloff, Johannesburg's newest residential and retail development project.

On a tour with Dlala Nje, I visited some high-rise rooftops in Berea. Joburg's rooftops provide a different perspective on the city.
