A mate of mine who has just moved to Fitzroy said that he was joining some sort or residents committee to fight the graffiti.
“What graffiti?” I said.
He sounded incredulous. “What graffiti?”
Raymond is a yuppie, to be sure. Just been in Fitzroy for a short time. He moved down from Sydney for love.
You know, it's like the idiots who moved to St Kilda and then wanted to clean up the prostitutes. Roll of the eyes.
Same goes for those who move to Fitzroy and then want to clean it up.
We're good thanks. No really. “Coffee?” Oh, you like some of our ideas. "Banana cake?" But you want to scrub the walls and paint them beige.
You know what, if you don't like prostitutes, or graffiti, or people who are living their lives, or art, of life lived differently... If you don't want to know anyone who is different to you, you know what, stay in North Balwyn, kids. Do the world a favour.
