  cant even imagine, been a few years since I worked out that way and it was pretty rough back then. Covid wasn’t kind to bridge road.

    I literally chased down a young man I saw walking without shoes, he wasn’t begging, gave him a 50 and made him promise to get shoes at the op shop 5 minutes down the road . I know he might spend it on shit but then maybe he will get shoes.

        I should have taken him and made him try some on and then pay

        and I’m guessing he’s so disorganised and maybe drugged a bit too that he just forgets to put shoes on , or maybe his shoes weren’t waterproof and got ruined or got stolen

        shit happens 😔

    The rot set in well before covid. I’ve been working on Bridge road since 2012 - just at the very end of its glory days as a centre for the cheaper end of the rag trade. Online shopping killed that, but it took a long time to die. Re-inventing itself now as wellness practitioners and eateries.
    For real scunge, look at Johnston St.

      Oh 100%. But 2018 wasnt anywhere near as bad as 2022. Not saying 2018 was good by any stretch, but it wasnt so desolate.

  Alternatively (and totally off topic) the town of Richmond in Tasmania is beautiful.
