    I worked at the vic rail printing works in Lauren’s street from 1980 to 1990 . Used to run laps around the Arden street ground at lunchtime and use the pool next to it.

    Printing signs ledge? I used to live in Queensberry street while studying at RMIT. That was back in the day when students could live in the inner city......

    Thats interesting. I used to walk past that building often. My grandfather was editor of a country newspaper. I love the smell of printing ink.

    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.

    I remember that. His name was Trevor Anderson wasn't it? Early '80s, I want to say late '82, early '83. Weird thing to happen but pretty much everyone had access to a gun back then before Port Arthur.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    Reminiscing of when the inner city was the industrial heartland.
