  • I'm going on an adventure to Footscray. Haven't been for years. I hope I don't get killed. 💀

    • It’s changed a lot, the signs of gentrification all over but the old Footscray is still very much there. It’s a unique place.

      • it's so run down it's scary and sad

        • Used to go there a bit when I was a teen (over 30 years ago). It was very Asian and cool back then, not a worrying place to be. Some of those shops were grouse, not at all like the plastic-filled $2 shops of now, with exotic and niche goods. It was the only place you could get certain things in the west at the time. The only time I went there recently with the kids we were on the tram that goes through there and a messed up guy (drugs) got on and asked every person on the tram for money while intermittently ranting. Other people got on and off the tram who were of a similar disposition. Kids were not impressed. He then got off the tram at an intersection and I had to distract the kids from looking out the window because he weaved over to a light pole, pulled out his Richard in broad daylight and started peeing on it.

    • Daylight? Shouldn't be a problem.

      Though now that Olympic doughnuts has closed, why would you want to go there?
