We ran and rode bikes and skateboarded through what are now sanitised gentrified theme parks wet within and merely based on the original St Kilda. The place was seriously down at heel in those days and all the more fun for it, for kids at least. My best mate's brother came back from Vietnam and would drink himself into a stupor every night. They spray painted those flats pink about 10 years ago with industrial spray cans, covering the windows with black tarps. Then they put green wooden trellises on the whole place and a hideous brass plaque out the front.
History is sucked out like so much pub smoke.
Yuppies don't have memories, just good investment advice. A packet of Black and White smokes cost 40 cents. A chico roll was also 40 cents. Can of coke was 15 cents. I've replaced the memory film in the Perception Camera and it now slow tilts up to the Big Dipper tracks.
