Hey, cool, Adelaide made it onto the internet for something other than murder or churches. Go Adelaide.
Seriously though, I can't wait to get the hell out of here. |

Am I the only one that thinks it would be even more funny if it said it was erected in 1869 instead of 1885 |

This pic is awesome.
But just for some education to the youngin's: The word "gay" 50 years ago or so and before, used to mean happy, jovial, merry, "given to or abounding in social or other pleasures" (hence the arcade). It was also frequently used as a name due to its positive meaning. Actually, it still means those things, technically speaking, but thanks to the negative slang use of the word, no one wants to use it in its original meaning anymore. |

"Is it homophobic to find the combination of gay, erect and cumming gross rather than sexy?"

What I'm curious about is if the people in 1885 giggled about this too. |

Its a real place...
In August 1885, Gays Arcade was announced in course of construction with a 100 foot frontage to Twin Street and a depth of 119 feet to Adelaide Arcade. N W Trudgeon built Gays Arcade for 11,000 pounds. The architect was James Cumming who also was the architect for the Australian Mutual Provident Building in King William Street.
