corporate extortion

In the past two weeks I’ve been the victim of two attempts of corporate extortion and been infuriated by reading about a third example.

I had a motorcycle accident two weeks ago where a driver turned right across traffic when signs prohibited it and hit me. My damaged bike was towed from the scene of the accident and stored by Garden State towing at their premises in Abbotsford. I arranged with a bike mover to collect my bike from there and move it to the bike repair shop, and Garden State acknowledged and agreed to the date set for it to be picked up....Read Full article

On the weekend I followed the sign on the corner of Brunswick and Leicester streets (on the corner where the nursery is) pointing down Leicester St. About 20m east of Brunswick St is a small space called the Agency of Sculpture where Ben Gilbert creates works from metal. It has just opened and there are not yet many works to see, but more is coming. Go in and have a look - it"s another addition to the busy Fitzroy arts scene....Read Full article

Two quick questions

I might be being spectacularly thick, but was wondering if the Black Market in Northcote is on every Sunday, or was it just a one off on the 10th February? I have an overwhelming urge to visit all possible markets in the city before I have to leave!
