Melbourne - a visitor's guide.

Video removed




St Kilda, eh? Yeah, you know what? Wouldn't surprise me either. NB if you've come across this after late February 2011 I can only say that the previous sentence would have made sense if you'd seen the video clip.

Damn, too late! I used to live in St Kilda, too. Just near the top end of Acland (?) st. (Think it was called Acland st - it was more than 30 years ago...)

I don't actually live in St Kilda but we're not far away. You have a good memory - Acland Street is where a lot of the cafes are and is where the St Kilda beach trams stop. Or it is now. I really don't know about 30 years ago, but it seemed to have a bit of a seedy reputation at one time. Probably still should have because that vid clip that was pulled was of a reality cop TV show where a guy was pulled over near the Esplanade and breathalysed and the cop noticed he was wearing a skirt. The cop said something to the effect that it was St Kilda and nothing surprised him.
:D Ha!

Yes, it was a distinctly seedy area when I lived there. That was part of the attraction! Lots of working girls lived around there, and lots of ne'er-do-wells. But a good area, too. Lots happening. Used to get all my groceries in Acland St - I lived in Smith St, which was a stone's throw away - virtually opposite, in fact. Handily, there was a drive-through bottle shop next door to the apartment too! Yes, I liked St Kilda. Very convenient.
