On Tuesday during a trip to the South Melbourne Coles to get pasta, Grant and I spied this awesome old building set to be demolished and redeveloped as an office block, with sales courtesy of real estate firm Lemon Baxter. How criminal. The building is clearly begging for someone like us to have enough money to buy and live in it, although those windows might be a bit too revealing in the middle of South Melbourne.
As an aside, I've always thought that Lemon Baxter sounded like a cocktail made up by David Baxter at work, not a real estate company. "I'll have two martinis and a lemon baxter thanks."

Not getting rid of all the awesome old industrial buildings
Although, to be honest, I'd rather see them destroyed completely than a slow, painful death by executisation. This is when property developers take a great warehouse and strip it of any character on the inside to make it into an 'executive apartment', relying solely on the coolness of the brick exterior to sell the place as 'edgy and urban'.
Drinking a lemon baxter
Mojitos are so passe. I don't know how to do an e acute on the Macbook. Just imagine it.
