Maybe this is an ironic joke that I’m just not hip enough to understand, but Redfern is, and has been since the 70s, an absolute shithole.
Like, the closest Australia gets to a ghetto, pretty much… Abo central. Literally saw a drug deal in the middle of the street, between a teenage Abo and some old blokes, earlier…
It’s becoming “hipster” and “gentrified”, now, but it’s still an absolute dive…
The fact that Sydney has actual ethnic (Muslim, Indian, Leb, Portuguese) ghettoes even worse than this is… Impressive.
But anyway, the fact that they’ve opened a “Detroit style” pizza chain here is just… Too much self-aware hipster irony for me, tbh…
Opposite a barcade and a sea shanty bar. Because of course…
While the streets are full of filth, and the buildings literally fall down around it.
Straya. Love it…
Detroit style is the original variety of what people call Chicago style pizza. Square deep dish.
Really? Never thought it was unique. It was just the shape the really big pizzas they'd make for catering puposes was. Big and square. The middle pieces are for the folks who don't like crust.
I mean it's not "unique" so to speak, pizza is an ancient idea. It was however the original variety while Chicago despite being more well known is the newer of the two.
