Talk:The Octagon, Dunedin

THE Octagon?

That's not right... the street signs expressly say 'Octagon' only - there is no 'The'

 * It's always known as "The Octagon", and Dunedin's street signs are notoriously unreliable - I've noiced more than a handful of mis-spellings before now. In any case, check the D.C.C.'s website - they talk about the Octagon, and if it's good enough for the council... Grutness...wha?  01:06, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Why is it called "the Octagon"? It is a circle, sort of, and certainly doesn't have sides...Grant McKenna (talk) 06:43, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Though the street itself is circular, the edges of the properties abutting it do form an Octagon, so the whole space is octagonal, even if the road itself isn't. This photo might make the name seem more understandable! Grutness...wha?  07:19, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm adding that link to the article, BTW. Grutness...wha?  07:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
