I had an event in St Kilda tonight, on Fitzroy St, and won’t be heading back there anytime soon. Been a long time since I’ve been in that area. It’s soul-less, don’t see the appeal other than it’s a street near a mid beach. Wasn’t St Kilda happening once upon a time? Not anymore.
It’s nicer during the day but it’s always been sketchy, at least since the 80s. I’ve never known Fitzroy St to not be mostly a shithole and have only gone there for Prince Bandroom shows. These days the Espy is just another rip off pub. Getting some take away and a six pack from Ackland St to share on the beach around dusk would be my premium St Kilda experience.
80s & 90s it was great but there’s so many more modern cake places now those old shops on Ackland lost their popularity years ago. I had my first borscht at Sherezade many years ago.

St kilda is a scum hole if you peek behind the curtain.
But it has its charms.
