Life off Centre in the Point


  How awkward is Centre St in the Point?
   Correct answer: Pretty much awkward yeah.
  Perhaps no better instant portrait as this scene where a pair on Jardin are caught wandering with nowhere special to go.
   The woman defies Google street view car ogling protocol by stopping in her tracks while the man Sullivan St which is in truth is just a short laneway and deserves no such title.
walks stops and starts back towards
    I think long ago the entrance to a boxing gym was once down that Sullivan St. laneway but I'd be ok if they just took the sign down because maybe it's confusing that pajama pant guy.
  Meanwhile up on the strip snooty cafes have sprouted up where obsessive compulsive chefs spend hours getting the placement of a mint leaf just right.
  The only real rootsy (ie: semi badass old time) spot on that part of the high street is the Griffin Bar where a murder was committed in front of several witnesses a couple of years back but the killer went unapprehended nonetheless.

    The correct google car ogling protocol is to lift your shirt and raise your middle finger, as demonstrated here on Dunver street in quiet Crawford Park:
