Slip Him a Mickey

Straya Day

 I've been looking for a way to attached VB cans to my Speedos. This fine Straya Day display at Cream clothes shop in Newtown is the answer to my prayers.

Kelly Country

Love this old tailor shop and handmade signage, King Street Newtown. I reckon Mario would make a mean suit.

Retail Therapy

Hardcore CD flipping at Lawson's - the last of the old school secondhand record shops on Pitt Street, City.

Humphrey the Decapitated Bear

A priceless treasure found in a collectable store window on King Street. Probably not the only bear with it's head in a hole in Newtown.

Grand Poobah

So what the hell is the Loyal Orange Institution? In all my years I've never seen anybody enter or leave this joint. Parramatta Road, Annandale.

Hellbento

Creepy childlike mannequin in a Japanese clothes shop in Chinatown.

Newtown Royal Wedding Celebration(s)

Great window display celebrating the Kate & Willie's royal wedding at Newtown recycled clothing shop, Scrags House of Fashion.

When My Baby Smiles At Me I Go To Rio

The Rio - lovely old school Milk Bar in Summer Hill...



It looks dark and scary in there...

TV

A beautiful old tv repair shop on Military Road, Neutral Bay.

Old Shopfront Newtown

Lovely old shopfronts in Newtown.



The blue place has the look of a butchers.

Goodbye Dora's Foodstop - Enmore

The old corner store on Alice Street\Edgeware Road is no more...



It was a shabby old shop, that's why I liked it.

The Politically Correct Man Blanks Peterson...

Sol Levy Tobacconist is one of the very last old school shops left on the Broadway end of George Street, City. The gun shops have long since gone and the army disposals across the road has finally bit the bullet. Despite smokers being a dying breed, Sol Levy tobacconist extraordinaire lives on into the twenty first century. But Sol Levy's iconic "The Thinking Man Smokes Peterson" sign as become victim to the PC police. It's now the The Thinking Man Blank Peterson. It's all smoke and mirrors...



Sol Levy, Tobacconist Extraordinaire, and international man of mystery.



What curious treasures are out the back?

Before it goes - Anna Take-Away Food - Australia Street Newtown

Ye olde style fish and chip shops are hard to find these days, particularly in inner Sydney. Anna Take-Away lingers on, though I'm not sure that they actually make any food, I've only seen ladies sitting round and gossiping. Good on 'em :-)
