Bloody hell.. it's high time they cleared that park out. You'd have to have rocks in your head to walk through it. I always go around. I pity the poor tourists that don't know any better.

It's really not that bad in the middle of the day - wouldn't walk through it of a night time or first thing in the morning when the homeless are packing up and heading out.

It's not that bad as the ferals mostly keep to themselves. used to walk through it every evening when i worked in Northbridge

I've been there during the day before and it was bad. Maybe it's different on a weekend. You either get abused or harangued then abused unless you're lucky enough that they're too busy abusing each other to notice you.

Better than 10am in the evening , I guess.

Booze Bus on Curtin Avenue at 10am in the Morning LOL

A few years ago there was a booze bus on West Coast Hwy on Friday afternoon.

I was just going down to the beach for a run and a swim and got pulled over for it, couldn't believe there was a booze bus there at that time and was cursing my bad luck.

I wasn't drink driving but my license had expired due to me being too lazy to renew it so I had to leave my car there and jog home where I got my brother to give me a lift to the nearest licensing department to renew my license then drop me off back at the booze bus so I could pick up my car.

Major pain in the arse.

Interestingly, a colleague and I were having lunch at the Opal Café which is on the corner, at the time this was going down. Incidences like this always get me to thinking about how life just continues on regardless of what is going on in our own at that very moment in time. Deep I know, but I felt the same when my dad passed - couldn't get my head around how people were still laughing and getting on with living when we were grieving - I was relatively young at the time though and it was the first time I had lost someone really close to me so maybe that's why my thoughts headed in that direction.

I felt the same when I lost my Mum a couple of years ago, CP. I think you spend 24/7 thinking about your loss initially but you know life keeps on keeping on - it can't do otherwise. Gradually you spend less time thinking of your loss and you pick up your feet and keep moving. You have to.
Some people just aren't able to move forward, unfortunately, which is very sad. I don't want my family to waste too much time grieving for me - if they even do grieve.

Speaking of Knifebridge - the Russell Square indigenous ferals got into another fight and one bloke had his head kicked in to death

Talking to a cop friend she was saying that Wellington Square is heading the same way

Would agree. Wish the cops would clean them out. It's not a good look.

Where do you suggest they clear them too

Somewhere where they won't bother anyone.

We'll send them around to CP's place.

She'll cook them spaghetti and they won't be homeless any longer Won't you, CouchPotato ?

I sometimes feel like my house is a place for the homeless - always seem to have a couple of strays at the dinner table

A snippet of this article mentions some Perth suburbs.

Congratulations go out to the following:

•Roleystone (6111)
•Subiaco (6008)
•Halls Head (6210)
•Perth Airport (6105)
•Kelmscott (6111)

Not surprising that 2 of the 5 have the same postcode.

#Loleystone.
#Kelmscum.

 

[Plugger35]

I'm surprised Subiaco is on that list, apart from having to deal with drunken footy fans I would've thought it would be a great place to live.

Plenty of good shops, pubs and cafes there and it's close to both the city and the beach.

Its crime statistics, same as Halls Head, it would be people breaking into wealthier homes/cars.

Probably because the markets are closing down. It's such a disgrace that the markets are closing down, they are the soul of Subiaco! The markets closing down will ruin the very fabric of Subiaco, what will we do without our markets?

Anyone on here got a radar detector? Got myself a lower end one a year or so back but upgrading and just deciding between the Valentine V1 and Passport Max

Booze Bus on Curtin Avenue at 10am in the Morning LOL

I was driving down Great Eastern Hwy past the casino around Christmas and they had a booze bus set up at eight in the morning. Couple of cars were parked on the side including a taxi with one sheepish looking taxi driver on the phone and one pissed off looking passenger standing next to him.

The old Subiaco Pavilion is a real eyesore now that it's closed down, if they aren't going to re-open it they should just pull it down and build something else.

The one way streets there are a pain in the arse too but apart from that it's one of my favourite suburbs.

Did their used to be a TV ad, something like "One in a million, Subiaco.... Pavilion!"

Or am I just imagining that.
