it was taken from about here. Note the same stobie pole. Only problem is google maps have not been updated since last century...

Ick. The only saving grace is the WB Caprice in the third photo.

Thanks Wayno - BTW - look how attractive it is over the othr side of the road - could be a thematic connection going.

actually, it looks better in the flesh. So to speak.

just one of those 'meh' suburban buildings for me. looks like all the crap they're putting up in Mawson lakes.

Could look a bit dated in 20 years

The more I look at it, the more I think you're spot-on here.

And in a wierd way, that makes me appreciate it a bit more

You'd have to try pretty hard to make Richmond Road look any worse, anyway.

I walked from Marion Rd to Grove Avenue in the drizzle yesterday - World Park was visible in the distance, & I was thinking how shabby Richmond Rd looks
in that area by comparison - in Grove Ave, a large rat casually walked in front of me & squeezed through the fence into ETSA Utilities land.

another Funk. Gawd. I shouldn't say this but I hate funk cafes. They look cheap and nasty but they aint cheap in price at all. They look so bogan .

Dont mind this new building though, fairly interesting

You're not the only one! Their branding is terrible, and the name conjures up thoughts of unpleasant odours.

I thought the coffee shop was much bigger, Coffey just being a typo...

Funk, just wait until someone turns the 'n' 90degrees counter-clockwise. then watch people complain
