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.

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.

They have their place in swing, jazz and blues, but too often were introduced into pop songs to suggest that pop was somehow as hardcore as swing, jazz and blues. Which it certainly could be unless you added a saxophone.
Bonus points for saxophone played by a white guy with a mullet.

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.

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.
