these photos are from austra's favourite shop on pottinger street. when she lived here, she would go in to get a foot massage on this street every saturday, and she chatted to the guy who owned the shop, she never really needed to buy anything there. it's a small kiosk style shop and there are no longer licenses given for this type of shop. the owner cannot hand it down to his children, after he dies, the shop will disappear. pottinger street is famous and beloved for the shops that line the stone steps. it's one of those 'you will find anything you could ever need' lanes. the bad neighbour in this case is whichever bureaucrat comes up with aesthetically arid town improvement plans.
