#FeastOnCarlisle Sign
With all the elaborate #artwork around #StKilda, sometimes a simple sign is all you need. Like this one at the rear of a #café called "Feast" on #CarlisleStreet, #Balaclava.

#Grilld on #CarlisleStreet
Looks like the new Grill'd on Carlisle Street, Balaclava (#EastStKilda) is off to a positive start. There are so many places to eat along this strip now, so opening it back up to a chain eatery is an interesting move.
There was a time when KFC and Red Rooster used be on Carlisle Street, and the only real major chain food store was, and still is, Subway.
Grill'd do have great burgers, which some people have said are a bit over-priced, but if you have not yet tried, it might be worth giving them a go if you live nearby.

It is a shame, however, that several small independent businesses and shop were sacrificed to make room for the relatively large burger venue, but time will tell whether locals will continue to like it for the long term. For now, it is something new and exciting.

Messy Construction @ #MiddleParkBeach, #Melbourne.
This section of beach at Middle Park (between #StKilda and #SouthMelbourne) is looking like a complete mess at the moment due to the works to replace the #sand. The #dredging is taking place in #PortPhillipBay just off the shore and when this is all finished, the beach will look great.
Let's hope they finish it as soon as possible because #Summer is only a couple of weeks away!

#RestuarantRevolution hits #StKilda
#Scarfo is the #restaurant name and it is now open in #StKilda as a pop-up in the #StKildaTriangle next to the #PalaisTheatre.
This is team Melbourne for the #Channel7 Television show, "RestaurantRevolution".
Since it is situated in the carpark next to the Palais Theatre (and directly opposite the St Kilda Foreshore, it is easy to find and easy to get to. If you're coming to St Kilda via public transport, then take Tram No.96 and get off at Luna Park and it's a short walk of approximately 100m from there.
We haven't been there yet, so when YOU do, let us know what you think!

"Fresh is Best" for #FruitAndVegetables?
Supporting local businesses and buying fresh #fruit and #vegetables are always high on the agenda, but this concerned my friends and I while walking along #CarlisleStreet, #Balaclava the other night.
This long standing Green Grocer is a family business with competitive prices, and the staff are always really friendly. But it is a bit of a worry that they leave their stock outside in the little arcade over night (See photo below).
This arcade, that is a walk-through between Carlisle Street and the #Coles car park, is locked at night at both ends and has a roof to protect from rain. However, the metal gates that close each end of the arcade only stop people from getting in.
Surely the uncovered fruit and vegetables are still exposed to wind, dust, traffic pollutants, as well as the strong possibility of bugs and small animals, and cannot be good for the "freshness" of the produce.
Yes, the weather is cooler at the moment due to Winter, but this questionable practice is not very appealing for consumers. Our own experience of buying a bag of Navel oranges was disappointing after having to throw away many of them because they were rotten on the inside, and we weren't able to determine this until cutting each one in half for juicing. At the time we just assumed it was bad luck that we got a bad bag, but after seeing the same table of oranges left outside overnight, we now have doubts.
We took the night photo on a Saturday night and the day time photo was taken on the following Monday. It seems that the tables of produce that normally are on display out front on the Carlisle Street footpath were merely just wheeled into the arcade so they could be locked up.
It is such a shame that they did this because unfortunately my friends and I will now shop elsewhere for our produce for the time being. It's also ironic that their little signs have headings saying, "Fresh is Best". Sadly, that has now come into question.

#StKildaTownHall Lights Up at Night
If you have gone past the St Kilda Town Hall at night in the past week or so, you would have noticed that it is colourfully lit up and displaying large banner photos of different women on its exterior, as part of an exhibition called "The Furies".
According to the City Of Port Phillip's Magazine, "Divercity", these depict 12 local women who are survivors of violence and you will be able to see these for the whole month of June!
St Kilda Town Hall is on the corner of Carlisle Street and Brighton Rd, St Kilda.
