Yep. Always found it weird when travelling that there was Safeways called Woolworths. Then one day, it infected Victoria as well and the world became a darker place. Hell, I mean who the fuck thinks "Woolworths the fresh food people" flows better than "Safeways the fresh food people"? [Most who haven't seen both won't understand, but the jingle in the add just goes so much better with safeways].Creator002 said:Exactly the same for me. Apparently, it was Woolworths in every other state before VIC hopped on board. A bit like HSC and VCE.
Thankfully we've kept VCE, though I think some states also have their own independent variations as well, which makes things fun, and bloody Queensland doesn't even use ATARs [Though apparently will start in 2018].
Ahh, we're a lot further South than you then. Around here its always just "Doncaster" or "Knox" or "Casey Plaza" [Or just "The Plaza" if you're feeling bold], "Fountain Gate"[footnote]Even if your's is {Which I don't know, not a mod}, this is a seriously huge range of areas. We in the Southeast get around =P[/footnote] shopping center, if we even say shopping centre, because adding the Westfield is just a bunch more syllables, and often they have had names for decades that everyone already knows and won't change from.Ha, you do now, but the one closest to me fluctuates in name when my family and I are talking about it. It's either Westfield Plenty Valley or Westfield South Morang[footnote]I don't think is personally identifying enough. Correct me if wrong, mods.[/footnote]. If it's clear I mean the one near me, I'll just say Westfield.
Looking up your local, it seems to have been just called the Town Hall previously, which I guess isn't exactly an intuitive name for going shopping somewhere. Down here... Everything's had its own intuitive name for so long, and Westfield tried so hard to get people to swap originally that it was offputting, that we're just never going to call them Westfield. I think they're finally starting to give up on trying to make us too =P
