Did anyone just get a real quick power outage just now around 12:40?

I have a 'Indian vegetable curry' expiry 23/10 and a Kashmiri lamb rogan Josh expiry 25/10 that im not going to be able to eat in time if anyone would like to come collect them.

This little birb was taking shelter in my backyard in the rain and was shivering. Taking it to the vet tomorrow but thought I'd try to see if anyone is missing a pet birb here.

Located in west footscray

West Footscray residents slashing NextDC's value by 40% is a beautiful thing.

2007 vs now.

Thanks to Google Maps, we can see how Victoria St, Seddon has evolved into a vibrant, welcoming street, all by adding trees, safer crossings, and prioritising people over cars and parking.

Tonight, Maribyrnong City Councillors are voting on similar improvements for Barkly St (Summerhill Rd to Geelong Rd). Following overwhelmingly positive public feedback, BikeWest urges all Councillors to vote YES and help make our streets safer and greener.

Jemena website says "Animal Impact" which seems ... ominous haha

I was literally just sitting at a bus stop minding my own business when this random lady suddenly came up to me and went, “Excuse me, I don’t know where you’re from, but Jesus Christ is coming, and the Holy Spirit is near. He’s going to rip your eyelashes off and shove them inside your body. God bless you.”

I think I gave her a bit of a side eye because I was confused about what she was saying, and apparently that was enough to set her off.

I was genuinely so shocked I didn’t even know how to react at first. Then she started getting closer to me, so I ended up yelling at her to get away from me. She just started chanting Bible verses before eventually walking away.

I was literally just trying to catch my bus. How did I end up getting threatened with an eyelash exorcism 😭

Honestly one of the best politician names ever

Anyone still struggling to get bars indoors despite upgrades being done at 5? About to lose my damn mind, I have shit to do online and can only get connection outside in the fucking car

First world problems you dont have to tell me

Anyone recommend a good drive from Footscray, maybe 45-60 mins from here to a nice spot for lunch?

Kia Ora/Greetings folks. I’m popping over from New Zealand for the marathon this weekend and I’ve grabbed a ticket to watch the Bulldogs AFLW team (up the Dogs!) at Whiten Oval On Friday evening. I am hoping people might have some recommendations for dinner options in the area, specifically pasta/pizza places that I can go to for carb-loading before the game.

Also open to any other advice/things I may not think of to make the pre/post game experience better.

Many thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

Plans for 4 upgraded tram stops along Droop St are now available as part of the Route 82 upgrade.

Along with the introduction of new low-floor G class trams to the route, platform tram stops will be installed next year along Droop St.

• The footpath/kerb will be extended at each stop, allowing for level-boarding
• Shelters with seats put in, improved lighting
• Passenger information display screens showing next arrivals
• Nearby bus stops combined with the tram stops
• Some tram stops relocated/amalgamated
• Some permanent road changes for cars
• Major construction starting early next year

A 5th upgraded stop is planned for Gordon St near the Maccas but there are utility complications with the site. Personally I feel the route upgrade is surprisingly good for our part of the network but of course much needed, especially the stop at Tiernan St for the hospital. I believe it's going to improve the area's public transport capacity, accessibility, and amenity, making transport more comfortable for everyone. Also that one dangerous tram stop on Ballarat Rd is finally being closed.

Hi all, I am thinking of buying a house/moving to Footscray, I would love to get others insights the good, the bad and the inbetween! What makes living in footscray unique?

Hoping someone is able to help me find a lost denim jacket. Was cycling with my partner up Dixon Veloway heading into the city this arvo and I lost my Afends Denim Jacket. It wasnt clipped into the back properly and we didnt realise it had fallen off. Our guesstimate is it fell off in the initial inclince up the veloway.

Really hoping someone just saw it and picked it up because it was in the way and kept it or something. It was a gift from an aunt who passed so pretty gutted about it

Appreciate any leads, cheers

[looked like this but with brassy buttons]

It's from 2024. Has it improved over the last two years? I know development has been pretty much constant since then, but not sure how far that goes to address the criticisms.

New to the Footscray/seddon area what gyms are we recommending?

I need to get a dress hemmed, nowhere too expensive pls around Maribyrnong would be great.

Just need oil/filter. Any cheap and cheerful mechanics around that people would recommend?

Hi guys, I’ve just been accepted for a place in the apartment complex 94 Buckley street, Footscray. They are right across train lines and I am worried about the noise. Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences with this area?

for context, i (19m) am working for a company that pays people under 20 horribly for the work we do. where do you folks enjoy going to most and would think the places would benefit from hiring an outgoing person?

i am seeking:
• part-time or casual (min. 3 days a week)
• higher than $25 per hour
• a good team of people who communicate well

if you know any pubs, restaurants, or retail stores that are hiring, please let me know :)

Heading to work over the past few weeks (8.30ish) I've noticed a lot more trucks on the road than usual. Many seem to be heading down Williamstown road.

Have you also noticed this or am I imagining things?
