... with the new criminal law firm on one side and the new betting shop on the other.
That's quite an 'alliance'.

Not strictly Brixton, but there's a new bike shop in Herne Hill - in the old Threshers shop. Called Bon Velo - opened on Saturday.
Oh and almost 400 riders at the Muddy Hell event at the velodrome on Saturday night!

Saw that shop yesterday but it was closed - have you been in? Wonder if it's good. I have some misgivings about the other one round the corner despite having bought several bikes there.

I heard it was sold recently.

Granville arcade is open on Friday night, first time I've heard of it being open other than Thurs night. Apparently there will be Nov 5th type entertainment although I doubt that means a bonfire or fireworks.
I hope not, is my fav pub in Brixton atm.
My mate Dennis is sposed to be doing a poetry night in there on Thursday, I'll txt him n find out.miss minnie

I just walked past it half an hour ago and it didn't look very open. Some dim lights on around the bar but doors closed and not a soul to be seen. Small bits of paper stuck to the door and windows, was on the other side of the road and in a hurry though.
Not sure exactly what is happening but it will be open tomorrow, and isn't closing. New owner is what I have heard.

They're trialling late openings Thurs-Sat. Was open last week then as well.

Cornecopia or whatever it's called had an extended license application in the last Lambeth Life if I remember rightly...

Cornercopia's new 'dining room' (an adjacent shop conversion) opens very soon, possibly during the next week.

Gresham Road all blocked off by the police station. One of the bus drivers that was waiting said someone had been shot.

The fucking "kids" on Tulse Hill are doing my head in. Several times now I've had to run the gauntlet of them trying to shoot me with a firework whilst cycling down/up the hill on my bike. It's much worse this year than I ever remember. This evening it was two blokes who should have known better in their late tweens/early twenties - showing off to a group of young teenagers....
In fact there was someone shooting one out of the window of the high rise next door this morning at 7:45am as well as the kids this evening at 6:15pm.
eta.. i don't think it's just me...

You gotta report them. Every time.
Some kind of issue in my local shop earlier. Police arrived lightning quick - must have been under 2 mins after the two suspects went in.
On it's own nothing to write home about, but there's been alot "going on" recently. It's making me a bit edgy about Brixton. Momentarily, I hope.
