nyone remember:

1. The UFO spaceship on the corner of Karel Avenue along Leach Highway?
2. Bernies the burger joint - the original one - at the bottom of Kings Park on Mounts Bay Road? I actually knew guys in the early 80s who were so bored in Bunbury at night, they'd drive in their panel van all the way to Perth to Bernies or Fast Eddies, then on the corner of Hay Street and Milligans.
3. Van's - the burger joint opposite the Cottesloe Hotel?
4. Eats - also a greasy spoon on Stirling Highway?
5. Hamburger Hill on the top of that slope at Burswood?
6. The original Cicerello's run by the old Italian couple on the wharf pre-America's cup - just 3 large concrete boxes which had been there for years?
7. "Greasies" - really called the Hollywood Deli on the corner of Hampden Road in Nedlands? Many uni students would before 1989.
8. Perth on Sundays when the only place open was the Freo Markets and a handful of small delis and petrol stations were rostered?
9. Perth DIED on Saturday afternoons after the shops closed - only fastfood places and the cinemas were open?
10. Being broke as a student and filling your car up with $1 or $2 of petrol and that would see you through a couple of days?
11. Everyone had a bomb and it wasn't embarrasing to drive one, especially if you were a student?
12. When your driver's licence was a piece of paper. Youngsters would borrow one from a licenced friend and buy liquor from the store?
13. Pinocchio's?
14. Beethoven's?
15. Angies Disco for teenagers in North Freo?
16. Minsky's in Nedlands?
17. Steve's the pub?
18. The Red Parrot?
19. Jules nightclub
20. Mangos?

OMG Memories i used to dance at Pinocchios xxxxx:D
 
I grew up in Victoria when there was the local hamburger cart .Won"t say where in Victoria. Best burgers ever after a night out at a bar or nightclub. The pubs didn't have 5 star service, but the drinks were cheap, the bands were awesome , and after the pubs shut, my friends and I would head of to a nightclub for some great 80's and 90's music. Also used to go to the roller discos and the drive in movie theatre. Best nights ever!!!
 
I went to Uni between 1981 and '85. There were some some students in late 1979 who'd see a band at the Broadway Tavern on Saturday or the Sunday sessions. The band went on to be known as inxs!
 
I certainly do remember Perth, became one of its visitors at 3 days old, earliest memory was 1974 thereabouts, riding on a bus. Coming from the North West, I've lived here on and off in this city since. Some things change, luckily not too much. Here's one of them.
