Shops For Lease
Though there’s nothing I would actually buy from these shops, I’m quite fascinated by the pop up shops appearing on Crown Street, Surry Hills.
We have quite a few shops in Surry Hills that are now empty, largely due to the result of changes in retail (generally) and COVID-19.

Discarded Wheelchair
Although it’s been quite some time since I posted something in my “Discarded” category, I was instantly compelled to do so tonight.

Although I realise the dumping of old furniture and rubbish in the back laneway causes distress to some, I’m quite sanguine about it.… Read the rest “Discarded Wheelchair”
