PIN-UP PUP

A photo of a photo... Part of an advertisement for Eco Pup sustainable puppy products at a local store. Couldn't resist that puppy love look (and no, I'm not paid by these people).

SHOPPING CENTRE

Like any large metropolis, Melbourne has its fair share of large shopping complexes scattered all over the suburbs. Generally one can find whatever one wants (and occasionally what one needs!) concentrated in one location with easy, free parking. Here is Highpoint West Shopping Centre in Maribyrnong. You'd be forgiven to think that you were anywhere else in the world in one of the big urban centres. But I'm being too cynical perhaps, yes it is convenient.

AT THE SHOPPING CENTRE

The Doncaster Shopping Centre, one of the big branded such places around Melbourne. Although I don't particularly like them, sometimes I visit one of them as the specific shop I need is conveniently located there. The shopping centres I like more are the old-fashioned "village style" or "strip shopping streets" (see here). Which do you like?
