Keeping an eye on the dregs

6 comments

People might say Kings Cross is where the dregs of society wind up, and they’re probably right, but not necessarily exactly right.

It’s hard to miss the skerricks of booze when you’re walking through the neighbourhood, especially early on the weekend.

Maybe they’re one for the road, the straw that broke the camel’s back. Surplus to requirements, a little too much.

Occasionally you see a guy pick one up, test the weight of the thing, then take a swig.

1. Oh, yes. It wouldn’t be Darlinghurst/Kings Cross without the mandatory half-consumed bottles of alcohol littering the streets!

2. Ah, it’s the circle of life, only backwards:

   First, your series on vomit stains in and around Darlo.

   Now, a series on abandoned half consumed bottles of grog.

   Such wonderful symmetry…

4. Hey,

   Where is the little stencil of the house by the drain pipe? It’s brilliant!

5. Hi Simon, it’s on Farrell Av, up near the Darlinghurst Rd end, just by the Dance Academy. We like it too, it was one of our first posts – http://darlinghurstnights.com/2008/10/miniature-street-scenes/
