Seen a few things these last few weeks that reconfirm for me that the Sunshine area is definitely just into the first stage of gentrification.
Exhibit No. 1
I did wonder if supermarkets in Yarraville or Williamstown were also highlighting a Spam sale……
Exhibit No. 2
I’ve only lived in Melbourne for 10 years but I’ve seen a circus in the suburbs twice – both times in this car park in Sunshine. Personally, I like it (no animals!) but it is pretty old school.
Exhibit No. 3
Rubbish dumping – people really don’t give a shit – as long as it’s off their property and they didn’t have to pay anything – they don’t seem to care how the rest of the suburb looks.
Still not gentrified – thank God for that!
Funnily, there’s sometimes still a Silvers Circus in Burnley amongst the 4WDs isn’t there?
But maybe the Spam is excess stock because Sunshine is gentrifying?!
(P.S. I found you by Googling “Sunshine topiary”)
Heh! I like your thinking Tangerine. Following that theory, I’ll keep my eye out for discounts on frozen pizza pockets, two-minute noodles and Bundy rum.
