Abandoned Bridgestone Preston

Half of Melbourne has likely funnelled past the old empty Bridgestone shop. Cars race along the east-west connect of Bell st to avoid notorious peak hour traffic jams. Much has changed in 10 years as the shop lays silent, stagnant and empty. Trains fly through the sky and their stations float along the Mernda line after the city wide level crossing removal. Public housing of Heidelberg West was flattened to make way for a major housing re-development project. The old Conga Foods building is a distant memory and now home to Bunnings, with its newfound fame of hosting a Peking Duk rave. The concrete and gravel pit of the new North-east link looks like some sort of post-apocalyptic dystopian future. Whatever the future holds inevitably change will be a part of it. Demolition, construction, production and so called progress. 


Prix, AFP crew, always pushing style boundaries and keeping it fresh in the process.



Props to the prolific Cola and World appearing on a rooftop in a city near you
