Aunties dumplings still there?

Not sure. We are about to be moved. And fair enough. Not a lot to do with richo even though he may eat in carnegie

Carnegie has changed.

Old friend had her cafe there for years. Santucci's.

The bloke who owned the bike shop on the corner near the crosdingvwas a client.

Bought a great road bike from him about 21 years ago.

Yep. I loved it there growing up as a kid though. We used to get Friday pizzas from Gabriella's...best pizza place in Melbourne I reckon. They've really done the suburb up now, the new train line running overhead has changed it completely. If you remember the old train station had a fence running over the top of the underpass with about a dozen children's paintings...one of them was mine Carnegie PS did that back in the mid 90's.

If I could buy the house back that I grew up in I would, but it's all over $1m these days...

Edit: I do try and find reasons to head back there though, to reminisce if anything. Our family GP still works out of the same place 30 years on...it's nice going back.

Surely Bentleigh isn’t the closest high school. I know they don’t have boundaries though.

I would've gone to McKinnon but back then I think it was either just out of our zone or you had to learn an instrument. All good though, we had a ripper football team and all my mates were Saints supporters.

Sold a place last year to a Greek couple who lived near the line.

Government paid them a fortune plus relocation costs so they could build the overpass.

Only problem is their new place has probably dropped $100k since.

Who do you work for. Got plenty of mates at Buxton and a couple at Thomson

That would be Bentleigh rec. Bentleigh high isn’t actually near there

Very Jewish these days.

In the 90's there was an influx of Russian Jews. Prices went nuts in the zone.

Apparently as migrants they couldn't afford Caulfield or Mt Scopus.

 

[VDS66]

Work for myself.

Buttons bentleigh?

Probably know all if the older heads. Good mates with Nick Renna next door.

I started at LJ Hooker in 93 next to the crossing.

I think one of my bosses, Geoff Ward played for us. Or it might have been Geoff Cayzer.

 

[George]

Played school football at King George reserve.

Played local football with Caulfield for 12 years and then I believe they didn't have enough players to field a team when I was 18 so I moved to St.Peters we played at Centenary Park.

100% true. My mates daughter goes out with a Russian Jew. They both went to McKinnon. Costing my local footy side players. They really aren’t into Aussie rules and we get most from McKinnon.

No Buxton Bentleigh. Buttons Bentleigh don’t sell houses. They sell buttons

Nick renna sold the house over the road from me on Sunday.

So bentleigh high is in east bentleigh.

Talking of Caulfield I saw Tom siegert at a comedy night recently. Very funny man. He is called the suburban footballer

Mate I was selling brick veneers Marlborough St for $120k when I started!

Yep just off east boundary rd. Near the banger.

Yes I saw him on The Footy Show a couple of years ago. Surprised me seeing the Bears jumper on national telly. Shame I couldn't play as many as him. 160 and then had to move.

This got 1.286 million and it looks like a church front. Do you know anyone at Buxton. Andrew Chisholm. Chris hassell craig Williamson John rombotis

Yeah I know the one. There's a little lane that runs off king George through to chestervillle rd.

Used to take my boy riding around there when we lived in Draper St. That was around the time they refurbished your oval.

Ok so you were near the mighty Macca high. And Ormond east primary. My 2 schools. I’ve moved 390 metres in 57 years.

Lol John is ex Fitzroy. Knew him when he was with Wilson Pride in Elwood.

Andrew has been around for years. He ran Macrae Fallon next door to LJ. Is he still fat?

He was always at war with the guy who ran Hocking Stuart.

Nick was his protege and eventual partner. Niels was the Butters of real estate and screwed Nick over.

Nick had to sell everything to save the business and lived in his office fit a while. Great bloke. Always there to help me if needed.

Yup behind Wines timber and right across the road from Shanahan.
