Could it be the stunning, Italian villa esque architecture? Sometimes I feel like I am holidaying in Tuscany! Why spend millions on an Italian villa when you can get your own slice of paradise right here in Woolston for under $200,000. Ridiculously undervalued, don't you think?
Could it be the amazing cars cruising the streets? Statistics tell us that Woolston is home to low house prices and very low household incomes. You wouldn't know from these photos would you? People take such pride in their state of the art, fresh off the lot vehicles, have you ever seen 2 cars in such excellent condition? The owners were just that concerned about the welfare of their vehicles that they parked them up on the footpath. That's the kind of attitude that THRIVES in this community!
Could it be the hot babes and bitches? (OH ~~OOPZ~~ HOW DID THAT GET IN THERE ;)
Could it be the thriving local art scene? A lot of graffiti can be seen as defacing, disgusting and generally really bring down the quality of a neighborhood. However, this clever little "tag" is creative, innovative and makes you respect the "artist" as a truly gifted master of their craft. If only we could decipher this mysterious MC character, perhaps M.C. stands for "mr crafty"? "mr cool"? "more (to) come"?? Oh i hope so!
Could it be the crystal clear, fresh waters of the Heathcote river? This beautiful, clean river is a serene piece of local beauty. When the weather is cold, people gather on the banks to paint watercolour pictures of the local wildlife that thrives in such an enviroment. In the summer, locals strip off thier clothes and take a dip, children rush down to the banks at the crack of dawn with thier lilos and canoes. People in Woolston save a lot of money in summer, nobody has to waste money on petrol driving to the beach, why would you need to when the cool, fresh waters of the heathcote river is merely seconds away!

I think this is a formidable, sarcastic and maybe sensitive post.
Perhaps this entry calls into question the sincerity of earlier posts, like:
'Also,
I feel sorry for anybody
reading this because you will never
get to hear
her beautiful singing voice!'
I admire you, but I'm also scared of you.
It is a pretty sensitive post, I hide my woolston embarrassment by trying to be funny. Should I try and be more sincere? take this blog into a whole new sphere? this blogosphere is too dangerous
Yes, you should. If you want to.
Maybe you could have a conjugate pair of blogs like Nelly's 2004 magnum opuses, Sweat / Suit. But named Hilarious / Heartfelt. Or something like that.
And you could blog about Woolston in posts named 'River Don't Runnn', 'Grand Hang Out', 'Down in Da Water', 'My Place' and 'Paradise'.
And then write tragic character portraits named 'Heart of a Champion', 'Flap Your Wings', 'She Don't Know My Name' and 'Pretty Toes'.
