Washing Lane

This is not the vibrancy you were looking for. Go about your business. Seriously, who chucks in a fucking saxophone player as a positive? If there’s a saxaphone nearby, let alone a couple standing next to bricks, count me out. How about bagpipes to really get the shoppers in? More small bars by the way. And apartments named Zen.washing-lane

    oooh corporate small bars. oh well, that’s the end of that then. So many albums from the mid to late 80′s were ruined by saxophone.

    There’s so many things wrong with that sign. I can’t even…

    Sign should have a speaker attached playing careless whisper on loop

    Surely Clarence Clemons gets a pass, though?

    • rottobloggo says:

      Is he that hot new tapas chef at that hot new Tex/Mex small bar off Scaffidi Ramble?

      • Scanners says:

        No that’s Guzman Y Gomez; a Sydney based Mexican chain food cafe in Northbridge, now that’s vibrancy.

        • On site of the old Plaka. They are giving away free burritos today.

          • Scanners says:

            Had many good times at Plaka. OK, so I can’t get too misty eyed about the place as I preferred the kebabs at Alto’s on Lake Street, but Plaka had it’s place, and many old school video games too. They may have even had an air-hockey game at one stage, but I could be imagining that.

              • Scanners says:

                Oh Wow! As Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon out of 30 Rock is want to say “I want to go there.” OK, so we probably have enough small bars now; how about a pin-ball parlour?

            • Snuff says:

              Plaka gorn ! What next ? Connies ? Alto’s was (one of the) the machete attack place(s), right ?

              • Bento says:

                Plaka was basically my first experience of Northbridge. Our Year 9 Belmont SHS geography class was taken there in a mini bus, dropped off on James Street, and told to ‘explore the urban environment’ on our own for 2 hours. We found Plaka, and more importantly Street Fighter, after about 10 minutes, and that was how we spent our afternoon.

                I find it difficult to imagine a school getting away with that these days.

              • Scanners says:

                Yeah, back in the early-mid 80′s, a jealous huband and his unfortunate wife, if I recall. Our crowd dubbed the place “Murder Burgers” thereafter.

    Just what we need – more retail! Wonder if they have a management plan for the solvent-itinerants who regularly, loudly traverse said Lane?

  7. janezee says:

    Why is she doing that with her skirt?

  8. snave says:

    Scraping the top-loader barrrel for ideas.

    I just checked Washing Lane out on Google Maps.

    I thought it would be an urban alleyway.

    It isn’t.

    Which makes the above picture even more bizarre.

    It’s like using an image of the Chicago El to sell a vacation to Idaho.

We can handle the worst
