My first uncovering

Here is a photograph that I took in June 2013, at the time of the Eleanor or Hildegard post. Two Art Deco apartment blocks side by side on Lygon Street. Whilst the one of the right hand side is perfect in its symmetry, the one on the left has obviously been designed to fit into a narrow space.
A few days ago I noticed an empty space where that building used to stand.

Mediterranean influence

One of the first places Vince took me when he first showed me around Brunswick was “the Mediterranean” - the supermarket, where every wine label is a line from Petrarch, every packet of pasta is an adventure and the cheese cabinet is a geography lesson!

Within spitting distance of Franco Cozzo there are many other reminders of the settlers from Italy, Greece and the Middle Sea. Here are but a few snaps from that small pocket of Sydney Road.
