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 experiencing a bad day and find yourself unable to leave the city – where do you take a break in?
Is there a secluded pub or shop that makes for a excellent little chill out zone?
Maybe there’s a certain hidden area of a particular park near the city that’s excellent to relax in.
Or maybe you’ve found a little location at a public building that makes for a good quiet place of reflection.
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?
Who knows how they came to be, but everyone’s heard about a crazy Melbourne urban legend.
Maybe it’s real, maybe it’s definitely shown to be incorrect… maybe it’s such a petrifying urban legend that you’re just not sure what to think. We’ve heard them all – ghostly presences, burial grounds, bizarre happenings from Melbourne history returning to spook us all…
Reckon you’ve heard a corker Melbourne urban legend from a friend – the type of thing you’d read about on Snopes? Let everyone know here, and, er… continue 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 its fair share of bizarre buildings – what do you reckon is the worst?
It could be you consider one of our modern buildings to be dreadful. Or perhaps a building that’s ancient that is rather horrid.
Whether it’s in the city or your neighbourhood, list the worst buildings below.
