Fitness First on Alma Temporarily Closed

The #FitnessFirst gym on #AlmaRoad is currently closed for renovations.

 

For those that don't know where this is, it is on Alma Road in East St Kilda between Chapel Street and Westbury Street, opposite Alma Park.

 

They are apparently refurbishing the pool and the entire entrance areas, which is well-needed.  Having lived in St Kilda for nearly three decades and having once been a member of the then St Kilda Fitness, one can remember that the indoor 25m pool was looking old even ten years ago, so it will be exciting to see the upgraded one!

 

The whole gym is closed until 18 January 2015 (which is only a few more days) but the pool works are scheduled to continue until the end of the month.

Saving the Trees

It's such a shame that some of the #trees along our #StKilda streets are being stolen or vandalised. Why would people do this? However, it's great that something is being done about it by the council, and by the looks of these trees on Alma Road it is working. This looks like a good choice of tree too.

 

Well done to the City of Port Phillip for being proactive.

Flooding on Alma Road

Due to last night's heavy #Rain, some of the local streets experienced some minor #flooding today.

This is #AlmaPark West on #AlmaRoad in #EastStKilda. The flooding was severe enough to affect parking along the street. Not quite sure what this old guy was up to, but perhaps he was trying to unblock one of the drains. You got to love the locals trying to help the neighbourhood!  Thank you, Sir!!
