Gloria!!

Well, you know when it's the beginning of the trend when a Gloria Jean's opens in the main street of your suburb. Up until now we've had cafes and restaurants and we've had a GJs in the Marrickville Metro - but you'd expect that - but never had I even countenanced that we would have a GJs in the main drag! What are they thinking? Well, obviously they're trying to catch a new demographic that we suspected was moving into the area. And, as a homeowner, you hope that people will move into the area and keepty help push the real estate values up - but we'd been hoping that would happen and Marrickville would still retain it's cosmopolitan little-bit-of-everything feel for a while yet.
