What I will miss about West End

Where do you start, these are going to be in no particluar order but here goes.......

1. The food and variety of what you can get to eat for all different tastes and prices. First is Quan Than and the beef rice vermicilli salad for $9.50. I have lost count of how many I have eaten over the years but I have never had a bad one and each one has been exactly the same as the rest, I doubt whether I will find an equal to it anywhere (big call I know but it is great!!). Next will be the chicken yiros at Lefkas, so big it is a struggle to finish. What about Mondo's crispy potato square's, hmm yum
2. Orleigh park and walking along the river and how everyone you pass says hello or good morning or acknowledges you in someway, that doesn't happen everywhere
3. Jumping on the 199 Buz and heading into town or to the valley, you head down hardgrave rd, turn right into vulture st, left into boundary and then travel along melbourne st until you reach the city, there are always characters on the bus that make you laugh to yourself
4. The markets at Davies park on Saturdays.....cheap fresh produce and people everywhere
5. The view from the top of Dornoch terrace where you can look out over the city skyline, the XXXX brewery, Suncorp and the TV towers at Mt Cootha, an awesome place to watch fireworks from or a storm as it rolls in from the south east
6. The view from our front sun room at night
7. Happy hour at the Pavalion on Sunday afternoons where you can sit and people watch for hours and then walk home, stopping off for dinner on the way.

There are lots more things I will miss but I will always remember
