lunch at Breakfast Thieves on Gore St
Breakfast Thieves on the corner of Gore and Rose streets opened a couple of weeks ago. I tried to go last weekend but they were full on Saturday morning and I was more successful on Tuesday at lunchtime.

Fitzroy history – corner of Gore and Moor streets
I haven’t learned anything about this building, which is on the corner of Gore and Moor streets. It may have been a shop or other commercial premise originally, but it appears to have been a private residence for many years.
