#FlashbackFriday ⏳ Picture this: Moonee Ponds Hotel, midday in 1980, big flares heading in the door, goth dorkmobile pulling out at the lights, pick up a bottle of Johnnie Walker at the bottle shop and some lunch at Me Li Wah. 🍺🥃🍜 ...or at least that's what the street signs suggest to do! Have you seen the recent refurbishments of this building at the Junction? 👀
