This is a clean, spacious laundromat with several sizes of well-maintained washing machines and…read morehuge driers. The price was very reasonable compared to other laundromats in the area, and there were two large tables for folding clean clothes. When I went there today, the owner was there, and he was very friendly and helpful. He gave me some advice on the best machines for me to use, and the optimal settings. Also, there is a coin machine on site, which the other laundromats nearby don't have. In addition to this, the owner said that he had washing powder for sale if I needed it, and he's looking at getting a washing powder dispenser installed soon, which is convenient if you're a forgetful person like me and you tend to leave your laundry soap at home when you go to the laundromat! Even though there are two laundromats closer to where I live, I'm going to travel to this one from now on because it is so much better. Thanks!

I've recently purchased a new bike after my last beautiful red bike was stolen *shakes fist at sky,…read moreloses faith in humanity*. However, upon my first ride I realised something was not quite right... My back brakes were sticking making for a slightly challenging pedal. I rang the distributor of this particular bike and was told it was a two-week wait to get it looked at. TWO WEEKS?! Ain't nobody got time for that. So I set off down Lygon Street, hoping that the friendly fellow at Bikes Please might be able to help. He did. Upon looking at my bike he instantly knew what was wrong and took it into his shed. 10 minutes later he rode back out, pumped up my tires, tweaked a few gears and sent me on my way. "But let me give you money!" I screamed. He would only take $5 off me, saying it was an easy gig and he couldn't possibly charge me anymore. Easy or no, that level of customer service has ensured that I will be a repeat customer to Bikes Please anytime something goes wrong. A general fix-up of your bike will only set you back around $35 regardless. Fast, efficient and friendly are three unbeatable characteristics of any local business. Bravo.

Sprout Community Garden is a project of Mind Australia, who run it to help people with mental…read morehealth problems. It's located next to Thornbury train station, and consists of a sprawling garden of fruit, vegetables, herbs, and community space. Each Thursday from 1-4pm their produce/plant stand is open, and once a month (first Thursday, 3-7pm) they run a community market which, in addition to their usual fruit and veg and plants, included preserves, crafts, baked goods, more gardening things, worm farm stuff (farms, worm juice), an organic sausage sizzle, and more. I went this afternoon and found it pretty busy, with lots of kids doing activities, people playing music, and numerous stalls. I bought some organic vegies, some brick-oven-baked sourdough from a new co-operative bakery that's starting up, a sorrel plant for my garden, and a necklace. You don't go to a market like this for its prices, but despite that, I thought the prices were pretty reasonable, especially for the quality of the food I got. The only negatives I would mention are that a lot of the plants/seedlings for sale from the Sprout stand don't seem to be all that healthy, and many of them aren't well labelled. I bought my sorrel from a different organic garden stand, where the seedlings seemed much nicer. Apart from that, I just wish the garden was open all day every day for people to go hang out in and/or get their hands dirty. (As it is, you have to go through a complicated volunteer signup process to help them out. Understandable, given that you'll be working with kids and disabled people.) In any case, I'm going to try and make it back regularly on Thursdays from now on.

According to the shop owner, The Manufactory is fast becoming known as the "the shop with the…read morerusted front door". It's a pretty awesome front door too, reminiscent of a decaying submarine or some other war paraphernalia. However, it does throw people a bit, so the key thing is to just push. The handles are mere decoration. The shop sources vintage household and other items from across Australia and some places overseas, and only stock things above a certain quality. They clearly have a sense of humour too, with displays like a bell jar containing an old copy of the book 'The Bell Jar' by Silvia Plath. There's certainly enough jars dotted about the place for someone to come and open up a Sovereign Hill style old time-y lolly shop, or perhaps an apothecary. There's a general steampunk and industrial theme to the establishment, with old pieces of machinery and random goods most people wouldn't think to try and hunt down. Everyone who walks into the place seems to light up and there's a general sense of cheer in the air. It's not cheap, but the effort put into gathering the goods makes it worth it. All in all, it's a genuine treasure trove.

I learnt a new word today. "Steampunk, a sub-genre of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history,…read moreand speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s." The Manufactory is one kooky little space, as well as offering 'Steampunk' there is a range of 'Kitchenalia', 'Botanica' and 'Illuminations'. This essentially means vintage industrial goods of a more romantic or feminine nature. Its not the large stark industria that can also be classified as a dangerous weapon. The shop is fronted with a vault like door that appears to be salvaged from the Titanic, opening to a quaint assortment of goods all lovingly displayed amongst medicine chests, antique dressers and shadow boxes. The space is clean and bright and allows shoppers to visualise how recycled pieces can be utilised within their own living spaces. prices are on the higher end of the vintage spectrum, so average with other vintage/industria traders.

On Sunday morning, while my hankering is normally for a Bloody Mary and some granola, I instead craved fresh plants. It had been a long time since I visited Northroy Nursery and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. From the exterior it appears to be your basic nursery, primarily selling pots and soil however when you walk in you will find quirky cacti, hanging plants and succulents as far as the eye can see. But what is best about Northroy Nursery is their indoor plant section. I was very surprised to see an abundance of fiddle leaf figs (if you're not in the know, these are a very cool plant right about now), which are often very difficult to find in Melbourne. While these were quite small, they were retailing for an eye-boggling 20 clams! I had never seen them so cheap before! They also stocked a LOT of fruit salad plants, hanging plants and also moss for if/when you attempt a terrarium. If you're in the market for some good indoor plants, definitely stop boy Northroy.
