A "pale shadow" of a place becomes one which "retains much of its personality".
There's over two and a half years between those posts so - unbelievably - opinions, circumstances and indeed, 'the tone', may well change over such a long period.
Nostalgie de la boue!
Of course, but I find it notable that the same Brixtonites (not just you, people I know in real life too) who scoffed at the going-nowhere feel of LJ 2 or 3 years ago now look at it (in much the same physical state) in a different light, Brixton having gone rather too far in the other direction for their liking, during that short period.
I've always liked Loughborough Junction, but it's always been, err, in motion, and while it's lost its pubs it's gained a great local action group, so the plus and minuses of thr place are constantly shifting.

I got one up through the local councillor when it was the Green - Becca Thackray. I think the noticeboard is in Herne Hill ward so contact one of them - but probably best not Jim Dickson who is super lazy.
No idea, but feel free to stick up on the Brixton Noticeboard forum here and on BrixtonBuzz!
"The House in the Junction is a series of urban, participative and unexpected interventions that every two weeks pop out of The House, an anonymous space at the heart of Loughborough Junction, London."
On the bright side there is an equally nice original facade that has been uncovered behind the old Futon Workshop sign - not sure what's going on with that building but hopefully they'll keep it exposed.
That's true, but during the morning rush hour there quite a few "fast" trains that whisk through the station in between the stopping ones. There might be vaild operational reasons why stopping those would cause a problem of course.
No kidding!
That was a good read.
In paragraph 34 we are told " a black male customer put cans of stella artois and guinness on the counter "
presumably because of the fact licensing have previous with Sunstar, but even so it looks a bit iffy, I wonder if they send spy customers into the tesco over the road.
