    I was in Footscray a while back and my husband said “we’ll cross here” and I said “no we won’t” and we kept walking. He understood I saw something he didn’t.

      I’ve been in Foots for eight years now. Totally seen some drug shit, but the unsafest I’ve ever felt had nothing to do with any of that.
