I've just moved back to Kings Cross in Sydney Australia ( the old Red Light district ) after living up North in Newcastle for the past 16 years - looking after my aged parents.

God there's been some changes. All the hookers have gone, the strip clubs have all closed down, there's heaps of these Thai massage places ( tiny shopfronts ). The needle exchange is gone ( I thought that was a growth market for sure ) but the Heroin shooting gallery ( run by the council ) is still there just across the road from the train station.

The local deros/bums are 20 years older ( those still alive ), and there's a new set of "blow ins" giving the place a bad name.

The place still has it's charm ( true ), but now it's overwhelmed by "New Money". Bling,bling, bling everywhere. Rich asians flaunting their wealth - playing the Bigshot. Yuk.

Not too many years ago.
