Il Posto

This man has lost my shoes. For four months I’ve been trying to get back two pairs of winter boot shoes, put in to get softer soles to lessen the noice made when walking. He can not find them, but won’t admit it. When I get frustrated he blames me for the aggravation. Yes! I do have a problem! Two expensive pairs of shoes now missing . Two pairs of shoes that got not a wear during the winter months when needed. I’m going back in a week’s time, as I have three times previously, to get them. He’ll ask me to go shopping while he locate’s them- or worse blames the staff member who is always absent. Next step is either in my shoes or to the small claims court. Go anywhere, anywhere, but here!

If you live locally, off Latrobe, Paddington Central is a godsend. Your shopping alternatives are limited, basically Toowong, Ashgrove & downtown. Anchored by a Woolworths, the centre also features a post office, bakery, independent pharmacy, bottle shop, plenty of food & coffee choices as well as my main reason for going, the doctor's surgery. S&N Pathology, once confined to a corner within the medical practice, has now opened a separate storefront directly opposite. Paddington Central is by no means a place to go if you're wanting to spend a day shopping. It's function over form. A grocery store and a few specialty stores & services. And a great coffee from 107.

I went to do a spot of shopping while in Paddington with my baby. The lifts were all out of service and none of the retail tenants I asked seemed to be able to direct me to where there was ramp access. The Centre itself is also looking quite run down and shabby compared to my previous visits a year ago.
