Isn’t this wonderful! I’m going to have to award it a not worst just for the halo on the frog alone. What a superb piece of Hamilton Hill that should be preserved forever. I’ve been imagining myself in the role of Mr Joyboy all day, and remember, “Little Aimée will be wagging her tail in Heaven for you tonight.” Has a feel of one of my favourite posts. By Sharon neé Shazza whose wind tousled hair I assume can be seen in the reflection.

If I were the sort of person driven to random acts of violence and property destruction I would be well advised to keep myself away from Hammy Hill.
On the other hand, at least the old servo is being used and I am quite interested in the ’60s style arch house in the background.
The art qualifies as a positive suburban horror. But at least the JW’s artist has found a new medium to work on.
(And here’s a fun fact: if you spend a bit of time on the google-maps looking at Blackwood Avenue / Carrington Street you’ll notice some sort of circular building which goes from being a building site to a manicured lawn with one mouse click).

They could give some friendly and constructive help with apostrophes: “At Perth Pet Cremations we really do understand the impact it can have on you and your family when you’re much beloved family pet passes away….”

Laugh myself silly everytime I have the misfortune to be heading in the direction of Spearwood and see this place. I suppose the servo space allows for the hearse to pull up out the front so they can load the crazy crab coffin in with dignity and respect.

How can you not like driving through Spearwood. It’s a treasure trove of classic architecture, home made signs and imaginative uses for concrete.
My only concern is that I think I bought a Boss Hogg Hot Dog from that servo. Hopefully they are operate businesses and they didn’t just phase out the petrol station side of the operation over time.

Lots of rainbows but limited unicorns. A definite not worst, tinged with why didn’t I think of separating pet owners from their cash so easily? Possibly a better target demographic than grandparents.

Having lost a pet, i find this building offensive – its an insult to pet owners’ grief, although clearly it is a poor reference to the Rainbow Bridge poem. I think its patronizing to pet owners’ grief and totally trivialises it.
