It was well worth the trip east out of Brixton last night
Saturday night east of Brixton: live bands at the Joiners Arms and The Junction, Camberwell, SE5

Unfortunately that went several years ago. I bought many mattresses there, so was wondering where on earth I will buy my next one from.

None. It's a long time since it made any money. Blacker was trying to sell it for ages before he went inside. He doesn't have a tenancy on the space any more, the new tenants pay the market owner directly. They (the new tenants) may not be there for more than three months. People are keeping an eye on the record shop signage, hoping for a chance to preserve it. That's the best we can hope for.

Maybe they should have called the South London Press's bluff and turned it into a hotel?

It's worth it for a visit to the Rib Man, he doesn't come over this way very often. Although how the hell that will work on the forecourt of the blues kitchen I do not know, it's not like it's on a busy road or anything

For non meat eaters, there's a new vegan / vegetarian place on Dulwich Road (right by where nick nacks used to be):

Enroot Goodness to go
Actually, i don't know why I said non meat eaters... it should just say 'for eaters'.

Well their marketing people have got their money's worth - a puff piece in the sub-Standard followed by a repeat for free here.

Yep, I'm sure the queues will be forming because of my one line mention here.
The fact is that it'll be packed anyway, regardless of any comments here. All these nu-Brixton chain ventures are backed by hefty PR budgets and the story will be in loads of mainstream media outlets. But not on Buzz.

The South Carolina and Memphis ones look cool. Might try the SC one cos they have proper southern food too like collard greens and white gravy but I suspect I'll be eating alongside estate agents and the like.
Anyone else remember the Arkansas Cafe in Spitalfields Market before that place went all ya-ya? Was the only proper rib place in London in the mid-90s.

I'm not sure I want to eat at a 'hub' of any description and I'm always wary of anyone belching out claims of 'superfoods' on their menus.revitalisation hub
can't beat a good bit of veggie food, mind.

If it's the dude i saw then he is a piratical figure with waist length dreadlocks and was moving...............a lot.
Yep - a pirate, complete with weird grin, fake cutlass, and plastic gold coins. I was tempted to tell him that Brixtonites are far too cool to pay attention to that sort of thing.

No they're not. They even write about the fucker on message boardsYep - a pirate, complete with weird grin, fake cutlass, and plastic gold coins. I was tempted to tell him that Brixtonites are far too cool to pay attention to that sort of thing.
Too cool to chuck him money for poncing around like that though! Who wants living statues when you can have a steel pan band instead?No they're not. They even write about the fucker on message boards

They're clearing that strip of Trafalgar Sq of buskers, so they'll all no doubt levitate their way to the No. 3 bus stop and head south.

Ah had to google that. He was called Bubba but the place was Arkansas cafe. He got "gentrified" early on.
