I just liked its complete stupidity. The graffiti in this town must be the lamest in the world. 8th Avenue Maylands. From Kelly, who even has a worst I would never have posted on her (?) blog.

The Worst of Perth 
Kelly, not sure about the pics of your sleeping [?] work-mate on your blog. Is This the worst you were referring to LA?

I do remember arsebuddy fondly however, as I once lived on Eighth ave many years ago. Is Maylands still a complete toilet?

It’s claiming to be less toilety.

It and its residents can claim all they want, but most of Guildford Road is a worst, particularly the section that runs through Maylands.

In line with Maylands’ overall gentrification, Carinya Gardens is being redeveloped as a gay leisure complex. Rather than sticking an offensively large Match type hoarding out the front for months before, first saying only “Buddy is Coming” in some trendy font, and then months later replaced with a shitty perspective drawing featuring both the building to be and people drinking coffee (of course), the developers – for obvious reasons perhaps – have decided to go with a more modest and more Maylands friendly approach to spruiking their wares-to-be.

Vic Park’s Cafe Bella Rosa had to move to Carlisle to make way for it, which means that Carlisle has a cafe strip. Or a cafe, anyway. Mrs. Ljuke has started calling it “The New Leederville” already.

Sorry pforts, the guys developed delusions of grandeur. If the storm in Thornlie was anything like where I am it was not enough to blow more than a few leaves off a tree. I had one hail stone the size of a pea land in my yard. (And he fabricates a story about being struck by lightening.)
The way he carries on you’d think he had been sitting in an old growth forrest single handedly keeping the trucks away. From what I can tell, he’s spent the last decade and some, playing computer games in his lounge. I’m just not buying the whole environmental crusade line.
