This city has changed a LOT in not just the last couple of decades but even the last 10-15 years.

For me, video rental stores would be one of them. Although they are largely being phased out by streaming services, I looked online and there are still some in Australia. I miss the good old days where you could go to Blockbuster or Video Ezy. I remember going to Blockbuster when I was a kid. I also remember as early back as 2018-2019 they had a Video Ezy Kiosk at my local shopping centre. Gives me such nostalgia.

Another would be Eagle Boys pizza, that also gives me some good nostalgia. I remember eating it when I was a kid I liked their portofino pizza. It went out of business pretty quickly though. Pizza Pizzaz in Currambine was also really good.

Now this was WELL out of my time (for some context reference I’m a zoomer, 21 years old), but from the videos I’ve seen the Birdman Rally at Two Rocks looked really cool. Speaking of which they’ve torn down a lot of the old abandoned marine park to build new houses, that kind of sucks I feel like they could have refurbished and redeveloped it.

Not saying that all of these changes are bad, certainly some good changes to public transport for example, but there are some things that I miss or that were out of my time but I still wish that we still had.
