Dalston Delights..

[ska invita]

This would appear to be an ad for the wankily named Vibe. A hideous named block of all sold gaffs all upwards of half a mill.
Funnily enough they didnt show Ridley Road market there or actually give any idea of what dalstons actually like. Too many scuffers no doubt. C*nts.

your totally like ruining the vibe, man!

havent been in Dalston for a while, but this great little film really made me want to go and spend some time there, do some shopping etc

They must be stopped. It's like a virus.

Its too late. theyve all been sold. probably to the far east investors who havent got a clue what Dalston's like cos they never been here.

I honestly think an outbreak of Ebola in London would do less harm than gentrification.

Ebola is not a good way of achieving that.

I went in last year and it didn't seem much different to when I used to live there. wait they did do food actually I guess that's different, same kind of people there though same jukebox looked pretty much the same, it was always expensive.

Scritti Politti drank there

I went there quite a bit about 10 years ago and it was pretty great.

Still go to Dalston for the Rio, Café OTO, Somine, Mangal etc.

And to laugh at young people.

I did make it to the "occupy the archives" / anti-university open day which was bloody great.

I think I saw you speaking to someone we probably both know on the way in actually...

I fully intend to go back!

I'm going to break out that Vibe advert into a separate thread as it's worth it!
