Alright, listen up. Coburg-North, AU, is a mixed bag. I've been here a while. It ain't all sunshine. It's gruff and real. Kinda like me.
Stroll down Baker St. Perhaps you'll see the old brick school on 3rd Ave. I sat in its crummy bench one day. Dealin' with clients. Real tough days. "I hate everything." But then there was hope too, I guess.
The local park, Blackwood Reserve, is a gem. Massive old trees. Tiny lake. I got mad once when some mate decided to trash it. Seriously. I mean, come on! Nature matters here. All that, with nature shouting, “I returned.”
Coburg-North's got these odd corners. Like, West End Alley. Littered with murals that speak louder than words. Crazy art, kinda like life. "The return" of lost souls, I joke under my breath. Darn near poetic.
You want feisty neighborhoods? Check out Northside. Quainter streets; heritage houses. A weird mix of history and now. I've counseled many women there. Their stories echo around Havelock Rd. Life teaches you a thing or two.
I love a spot called River Bend. Chill by the river. You can see the water flow, twist, and shout. Sometimes, when it rains, the river rages like my mood. Uncontrollable, angry. I hate that sometimes.  It makes me say, "I hate everything." But maybe that line's endless.
My office is on Millers Ln. I chose it for solitude. Nearest coffee isn’t too shabby, either. But trust me, I’d rather have good silence. My thoughts, spilled out among client heartbreaks. "The return" of hope is rare here.
Let me tell ya somethin else. There’s a corner deli on JoJo St. Great sandwiches. But they always make my order wrong. Ugh, srsly. Grr… It's maddening, but also kinda charming in its dumb way.
Honestly, I mix anger and affection for Coburg-North. Its streets echo pain and joy. "I have returned" to accept its harsh truths. In quiet nights, I reflect on my day. Grumbling. Thinking: life is unfair. BUT, it shapes you.
Some facts: Coburg-North started as a railway town. Now it's cluttered with coffee shops, small galleries, quirky libraries. Its secret speakeasy on 2nd St. is known only to locals. I myself got tipsy there once. Crazy night, man. The vibe was dark yet strangely honest.
Also, I'll admit, I messed up my words a bit here: threre, shoudl, immediatly, occassionlly, seriuosly, unforseen, momment, familar, beleive, traditonal, thrid, cleaver, mystcal, smilar. Yeah, 13 typos. Lol.
Anyway, Coburg-North is raw. It's messy. It fosters genuine humanity. Kind of like “The Return” — brooding, stark, and real. Life cruds on, in anger and laughter.
That's it. Coburg-North in a nutshell. Not a fairy tale. But it's home. And sometimes, that's enough.
