The best of almost everything in Melbourne, as voted by locals
If you could set up some sort of public humiliation ceremony in the city for a Melbourne celebrity – who would it be, and why?
C’mon, everyone’s got their favourite Melbourne twat they love to hate. So here’s your chance to convince everyone else.
By the way, this is the last question for April – so go back over the last month’s posts, and vote on the comments you like best. The most popular answer on each post will be announced shortly!
If you’re having a difficult day and find yourself stuck in the city – which location do you hide in?
Is there a quiet bar or cafe that makes for a excellent little chill out zone?
Maybe there’s a specific little area of a certain park around the city that’s ideal to take time out in.
Or maybe you’ve found a hidden location at a building that is a good quiet thinking place.
HEY! It could happen if they get low enough ratings and need to run a special series in Australia! Baywatch did it, and that was ALL class.
So what’s the Melbourne-based disaster that Jack Bauer and the CTU crew would avert – or fail to avert?
Nobody knows how they begin, but everyone’s heard a great Melbourne urban legend.
Maybe it’s true, perhaps it’s clearly shown to be incorrect… maybe it’s such a terrifying urban legend that you’re simply not sure what to make of it. We’ve heard them all – ghostly presences, burial grounds, bizarre happenings from Melbourne’s past returning to spook us all…
Reckon you’ve heard a corker Melbourne urban legend from a friend – the type of story you’d read about on Snopes? Let us all know here, and, ah… spread the misinformation!
Oh boy, I’m going to hope that everyone’s minds aren’t in the gutter, and this doesn’t turn out to be the worst question I’ve added…
So – if you could turn invisible, what would you do in Melbourne?
Would you sneak into the halls of state parliament and observe the secret goings-on behind closed doors?
Perhaps you’d spend your time tripping over public transport ticket inspectors.
Or should I simply acknowledge the fact that most of you would head straight to the changerooms of your favourite sporting team, to watch everyone in the showers?
After you’ve lived in a suburb long enough, you begin to accumulate a few local’s secrets.
Maybe it’s a hidden store, scenic spot, or hard-to-find pub that only locals know about.
Perhaps it’s an awesome shop or cafe that treats the regular locals particularly well.
Is there a certain local way of doing certain things in your area?
Or perhaps you’ve got a celebrity living nearby that everyone knows about, but keeps tight-lipped about.
Every Melbourne suburb has its own local’s secrets – but maybe it’s time to share the knowledge around with others…
Melbourne has a number of strange buildings – what do you reckon is the biggest eye-sore?
It could be you consider one of our recently built structures to be loathsome. Or perhaps a structure that’s older that is rather ghastly.
No matter if it’s in the CBD or your suburb, mention the ugliest architecture below.
Who prepares the best coffee in Melbourne? The secrets behind a good coffee shop can be a bit of a puzzle, so we’re on a mission!
