Yeah I do, but she's not the little girl I once knew.

Anyone else saddened by the total removal of all reference to the Tigers, Glenelg Football or Cricket Club down at Bay oval? As far as I can make out there's one 'The Glenelg Club' sign flanked by two massive neon 'GAMING 8am' signs. Trying to capture the school drop-off crowd I guess...

EDIT: went past tonight and there is still signage for the cricket club

I would like to think come football season the GFC signage will be back up.

Word is the Bay redevelopment has been renamed "Kokomo" because they want to get there fast and then they'll take it slow.
