What does East Dulwich lack?

[DrDom]

Keef, there's 2 music shops in Dulwich. Failing that the one in Brixtons pretty good mate-boys in there know their stuff. (coldharbour lane).

[Windom]

nothing, it is pram filled nirvana

[karter]

Somerfields seems to have alot more co-op products in-store. When will it be transformed though, if ever?

Keef, there's 2 music shops in Dulwich.

I know, but not the type I want. Didn't know about the Coldharbour one, so cheers.

I normally go to Eric Lyndsey in Catford.

[Jeremy]

The music shops in ED are more the type you'd take your 11 year old to buy a recorder.

Ha ha, I almost posted exactly that last night, but didn't think it would be appreciated.

[DrDom]

True, but if you just want strings and picks then at least you don't have to go far.

[Dodo1]

Well I would have said another butchers but I've noticed that William Rose have a 2nd outpost locally.

Mellors and Physio

I agree about the craft shoppy workshop fabric place. I asked the owner of this place http://www.themakelounge.com/ to open a branch here but she wasn't v interested. Imagine a Make Lounge in the old Job Centre premises. Or in the Foxtons premises for that matter

Serious lack of a decent gym that doesn't cost the earth - looking forward to the EDfusion renovations finishing...

Dalston / Stoke Newington / Brixton / Peckham / Whitechapel for starters?

Less hand-wringing.

One day I hope to move to 'soulful Dalston'.

It's my dream.

[thebestnameshavegone]

they wouldn't have you

[*Bob*]

I managed to 'get into' soulful Brixton. And soulful Tooting. And soulful Streatham.

I suppose I just got lucky.

[Jeremy]

Mitcham's got soul, you should give it a go. And East Ham.

yeah!

It's the new 'calling someone a student'!

[*Bob*]

You're right. Students. That's what East Dulwich lacks. We need more students.

And it needs to be more, like, edgy. And stuff.

[quickbrownfox]

I'd love a proper New York style "deli" serving cracking American style breakfasts, including eggs 'over easy', waffles and pancakes, along with fresh OJ and good coffee. Needs to be have bustling kind of vibe with good tunes, clanging plates, and general busy-ness. It would need to be staffed with proper hospitality professionals who are super-efficient, even if a little gruff sometimes. Would need a long bar where you can watch them prepare drinks while you have your coffee (alone and child-free) and read the paper. At lunchtime they would do oversized sandwiches with pastrami, onions on sourdough, maybe with a touch of mayo.

I have spent some time thinking about this.

[helena handbasket]

Now THAT is something I would get excited about!

Ahhhhhh, a proper gleaming short stack with maple syrup for breakfast. For lunch, corned beef on rye with mustard and saurcraut, a giant dill and garlic pickle on the side. A big frosty glass of iced tea...... oh what the hell make it a Long Island iced tea.......

Keep talkin' quickbrownfox!
