Changing street scape.

This loose and fast painting of a row of old shops and a church on the Northcote, Thornbury border was done a while ago. I passed by there recently and noticed that the shops have been demolished and a lot of redevelopment is going on in the area.
The gritty nature of the area is being replaced by the shiny and new.
The Baptist church is still there. I don't know if it ever had a cross but it doesn't have one now.
