planting flowers on turbo island

[Chilli.s]

Sand is what most beaches are made of, sand is the main ingredient of glass. Surprisingly Turbo Islands beaches are made of glass itself.

Cept our turbo island ain't got a beach.

I nearly went out to take a photo for my Twitter account @TurboIslandNow but then noticed this thread was from 2 years before I moved to Bristol!

Turns out that Turbo Island is the fire evacuation assembly point for The Kid who works in a building round there.

#gentrification

...Carriage Works/Westmorland House site. It's been derelict for the last 20 years, but I think things are finally going to change.

This aged well. That building will outlive our solar system.

They would be stupid not to. But I actually have no idea. Was still there the last time I went past a couple of weeks ago.

It's normally dark and I'm normally worse for wear when I'm round those parts.

Yes, the facade of the carriage works is being kept. Not about the gentrification though, that's well out in the open.

Turbo island is such a shit hole. Worse and more depressing than ever.

What they heck are they doing with it though? Should still be a free/public community space...
