The Refillery, an almost completely plastic-free and packaging-free grocery store, has become my favorite place to shop in Linden.

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

Betty Ntuli, Melville's mielie lady, is retiring this week after 57 years. Here are some photos of her life and career.

I have an ever-growing obsession with shopping sustainably, and Joburg is a fantastic place to do this. Here are a few suggestions.

Every March, pink and white cosmos flowers explode into bloom in Delta Park. The 2022 cosmos seem even more beautiful than usual.

My new plant obsession is accompanied by a pot obsession. Leibermann Pottery sells fantastic pots as well as funky antique tiles.

Thorsten and I recently stumbled upon King Arabic Sandwich -- a Palestinian restaurant that used to be in Mayfair -- in Roodepoort.

Thorten and I went hiking in Kloodendal Nature Reserve. It was my first time there in 11 years, and we saw hundreds of king proteas in bloom.

JFF Rooftop Farm is a nursery/coffee shop in Braamfontein. The nursery is on the building's roof, surrounded by skyscrapers and treetops.

Chappy Vintage, a charming second-hand shop on 4th Avenue in Linden, is my new favorite place for quirky home furnishings.

Westdene, like neighboring Brixton, is a super cool Joburg neighborhood with very few restaurants. So I was excited to hear about Emzini'.

Klipriversberg Nature Reserve is more than your average Joburg City Park. It's a full-on hiking/nature-walking experience.
