    I worked in Blake's pharmacy at the front the king's Cross police station site on Darlinghurst road / Maclay street around 02- to 2014 , I was the night shift shop bitch & some times the Love Machine pill chick😁 ..I helped Tania , Sam , Animal and all the beautiful disheveled people of the Neon cathedral of nightlife. I partied with them to , the tunnel was top stuff.empire , Bourbon , peppermint rhino , Ruby's , the fish bowl , Bada Bing was destined to be a pinnacle of excess .. nobody could tell anyone about being to extra , that didn't exist then , people have to earn maturity through trial and error & custodial sentence, bankruptcy and sometimes death. People do not seek out a resurrection of anything in the cross - the good things don't actually die , they bolt on and lay down a patina that still gets hit & chimes out out essence of sins - That time we shared in king's Cross , before the lock out laws & one punch deaths , is time that stays in our shared memory like it is the unattainable dream the unanointed to the old cross can't design in their minds anything like we used to see...it is a memory that can't be retrieve , it stays when you wake up from it , if you were privileged enough to have been in that scene - it's it's own magic of aspirations of socialising that podcasts like this revive our experiences and feelings of the glittering mile so many people have their respective reminiscent memories of ... These are bits of history we all get value out of.. Thank you for this .
