A step away from art just for a second. Or perhaps a step towards, I am still unsure. Whatever the case I think this is an issue which needs to be shared and as a 21st century teenager I feel my opinions are valid because I can instantly upload them to the net. Love Our Laneways is a project aimed at stopping the demolition of the 1920's buildings which form the alleyway precinct between Elizabeth and Charlotte Streets. If you are lacking in knowledge of Brisbane history the short story is that many of our historic buildings were demolished by the Deen Brothers, a no questions asked demolition company during the premiership of Joh Bjelke-Petersen, who was determined to develop Brisbane. Consequently Brisbane is left without many of it's historical buildings.
This is living history in Queensland and the preservation of such a district is simply necessary. Go to their site to sign the petition if you feel the same, it doesn't take long at all.
