    Melbourne CBD is utterly forgettable and a bit of a toilet at times, so it’s no wonder people don’t want to go back.

    It’s much more enjoyable to enjoy that nice cup of coffee or whatever in the suburbs.

    I said what I said.

      I’ve been smoked out of hiding and made to promise I’ll go into the office once a week and today was this week’s day. It’s semi enjoyable and a novelty in the morning but on the way home it’s horrid and I need a week to recover.

          Yes! Now I remember why I used to shower morning and night pre COVID when I was in the city more often.

      Super dooper especially at NYE or such times. Why anyone finds such overcrowded mayhem appealing is beyond me.

      My kids are still young enough that the CBD is interesting, but I think they’re becoming wary of the people who approach and ask for money. It’s been really notable the last couple of times. We were even sitting just inside the front of a McDonald’s and someone entered far enough to ask me for money in front of the kids. The kids were unsettled by it. My oldest also noted that piss was a common aroma. We weren’t hanging out around the shitty parts of the CBD, it was an “in general” kind of thing.
