Ballarat Road, Footscray
It was indeed a lonesome road in the wild wild west – of Melbourne – where this offer of folk and coffee hovered above a deserted shop front. A forlorn and lonely ghost indeed.

You see a building. You see an old, faded sign. We hear a story. Listen.
This was actually a community center in the 1950s
ReplyDeleteNot sure why it was named "Lonesome Rd"

There's another sign starting to show under the LRFCL as it slowly wears away. The only word I think I can make out is "Frosty". Drive past this building every day and totally love it.
