I find it a very sad place, it’s like there’s been an economic depression there for the past 20 years, which it has since industry moved and stopped paying rates and providing jobs
Then the artists & students and people looking for cheap housing close to the city moved in. A much more eclectic mix, and quite an interesting one. Thriving art scene and good food available very cheap (compared).
Footscray has been cheap and mixed for as long as I remember. When I studied and worked in the area a few decades ago there was a thriving immigrant community and lots of artists and students. It hasn’t changed in that regard.
I’m going on an excursion to Footscray today.
Don’t miss out on going to the market. The fish/seafood section was AMAZING the last time I was there.
That’s where we’re going. Also the shit shops cos I need wooden spoons.
Your suburb has no spoons?
I’ve never really looked.
CHEAPER BUY MILES!
Ooooo. Yes. Thank you.
