Yeah but they don't go to the Tote on a Saturday night and listen to Triple R.
Docklands is the actual city.
I mean when a guy from the country could live on Austudy in the inner city ( Fitzroy, North Melb ) without his parent's deep pockets.

It’s only just been ripped down , the old canteen building is still sitting there, must be to do with the new tunnel.
Sometimes I wonder about the asbestos it must have been full of.
I was a 16 year old apprentice back in 1980.
Had a Fitzroy footballer called Burke work with us at one time.
Also had a champion vic boxer called Stretch Anderson who became known for a particular shooting in brashes greensborough, took out his girlfriend a friend and himself, scary man, were later to find out he had a gun in his work draw and came to work that day looking for some managers. He read Mein Campf and spent all his time doing Rubics cube.
Only one manager was game to say anything to him, they just left him alone.
Greg Williams also visited occasionally.

So interesting. What a character. So I assume he did a long stint in jail.
North Melbourne, Abbostsord, Clifton Hill, I lived a lot in the inner city as a student and graduate. I lived at PANCH hospital when they leased the res to RMIT in Bundoora, before the design dept moved to the city. There were shootings in Preston as well.
Those old boxing gyms in the inner city were such interesting places. I laugh at gyms in Melbourne now, with signs reminding people to wear deodorant. No kidding. I liked North Melbourne back in those days and the market was cheap. I always wanted to learn silk screen or other old school printing. I teach a bit of printmaking now and then here in China.

They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
Reminiscing of when the inner city was the industrial heartland.

Really good response so far up to 50. TAS and NT still yet to get off the mark but every other option has been filled.
