These buildings or the old shops and houses in the photos below may be demolished.
Michael saw something in the Express about old buildings at Point Clare being demolished to make way for another bloody supermarket.
I got my fingers crossed it'll be just the fugly seventies building housing the takeaway and the fish shop. There's a carpark behind that one.

Look for them opposite Point Clare station on Brisbane Water Drive at the Talinga Avenue lights.

cheers Spike..Like I said....just like being there for me....
great stuff.......
thanks........
My nostalgia even baulks at the fugly 70's.
That takeaway/fish store building is pretty ugly, but I do enjoy juxtapositions of shops like this. Hmmm, let's see, I can make one trip to get dinner AND stock up on goldfish food...
its not the fish shop thats getting demolished its the buildings thats in the second and third photos that are going to make way for Aldi
cheers
Michael
Pattie - LOL. Not sure if it's selling second hand clothes now but definitely clothes. Before that it was an art gallery/shop for a few months and it was empty for maybe six months between that and the previous occupant, which either came before or was the real estate.
Yep, Ray White is the other real estate, a few shops along in an old white bungalow.
The graffittied place is Theroy's. I remember the March painting. They were trying to flog it then. It stayed ungraffittied for a couple of months. It's a charming little building.
That new chemist I've never been in but I noticed it's got a ramp so the Dear Old Things must like it.
Yer welcome.
Aesthetic & Jen - LOL.
Jen - That lot of shops along there gives a bit of a potted history of Brisbane Water's white settlement in the 20th century.
Tell you what,if they threw in a pack of condoms and a video they'd be knocking customers back with a stick.
Michael - Bugger. I hoped the fugly 70s one was going to cop it.
Spike - I drove past that little shop yesterday I think it sells "Vintage" clothing or whatever the hell they define as "vintage"
cheers
Michael
Spike - what Jen said... you gotta have a laugh at the businesses that take up residence next to each other.
Now you KNOW what happen's to the BAD fish in that shop - they get "Next Door" threat happening... the old: "Don't mess up your tank their Nemo, or I'll just have to take you NEXT DOOR!"
Fish cakes anyone???
Fugly was the damn wallpaper that often came with those buildings - man they were scary! Thank christ lighting was so poor then... we'd have tons of scarred children trying to scratch their retina's out - STILL!
lol...
Cheers Spike ;-)
Micheal - Yers. Vintage seems to lay somewhere between used and secondhand.
Belongum - LOL at the bad fish threat.
I remember that wallpaper. The local Chinese had a hideous red and gold number and the red bits were raised and sort of velvetty but coated with a fine grease from the cooking.
