I dont think you can realy say that the brisbane CBD is northside

Actually you'll find the people who built Brisbane believed strongly in settling on the northside of the riverbank.

I once went to the south side and saw a lady eating a baby... that's all I have to say about the south side.

Haha twisted. I lived there for 20 years, you got nothin :P

I lived south of the border for first 20 years, now I live at bracken ridge and I find the northside is actually quite nice. Nowhere near as bogany as people make out, well maybe zillmere but yeah. Inner north Is cool

indro is westside unofficially in my mind, tho it's fair bit south. Anything past there and it's clearly westside sticks

southside, it's got all the freeways and is just so connected. northside has gympie rd lol.

also eastside is tbe best. gateway, bay breezes, cooler, nicer living. it's all cruisy out here.

and sandgate and the gateway and south pine.
the southside only has freeways cos they assumed no-one would be stopping

north/south, they both suck.

Ive posted this before but pretty much in the red and you hit the aids.

i think it has to be upgraded to $20 cab far rule these days to get anywhere within the safe zone depicted above.

i remember agents used to say $10 cab fare rule back in 2001. Oh how times have changed.

if you mean bardon or kedron, yes. If you mean hendra or carina heights, no.

bracken ridge is stix++

a whole six kays further from the city than your house spook, big deal

I'm getting use to living in Nathan. Within 10KM's of the City/Indro/Garden City/Sunnybank.

nathan? respect:

bracken stix, no freeway? mite be 6k as the crow flies, but on the bus thats like another hour (no doubt most people on the northside catch the bus as they cant afford cars, and even if they can their roads are so congested they only drive them north, not south)

I used to live in yeronga, which is southside but not slummy southside, for three years I've been living in kenmore, its westside bris so not sure how that fits into your argument but I like it - yeronga was only as few kays from the city (closer than indro) but s*** stuff locally, here I'm one street away from a good coffee club and indro is down the road so while its technically further from brisbane I feel like I have greater access to stuff I use..

The northside is just crazy, I get lost when I go there might as well be a different city everything looks different and the hoes are cheep

seriously guys

your freeways on the southside are a f***ing peice of s***

you queue kilometers away from the city and crawl the whole way to the city regularly each day

gympie road has traffic lights but f*** you rarely ever have to crawl in first gear like i have done on the western freeway and the m1 regularly when i was traveling from the s*** southside

salisbury is further away from the city than bracken ridge...

of course hoes are cheap on the north, pave's mum lives up there.

Haha wow spook you've got no idea do you.
Yes the gateway and sandgate road and gympie road all pretty much converge on the back of bracken ridge. It's possibly one of the easiest suburbs to get to, cos every arterial road gets you there. And no it's 6ks by road. And I can walk 6kays in under an hour. And most people on the northside catch the train or drive, which will account for a grand total for 9 minutes extra travel time.
And also what paveway said, southside you're crawling, northside you've just got lights.

Northside traffic is a hell of a lot better. I'd rather be on Gympie Road than on the freeway any day.

nothing wrong with cheap hoes

Northside easily.. all the examples (airport, RBH, CBD, Suncorp, XXXX brewery, etc) have been mentioned by the #1 reason northside is better is because it isn't southside!@

Northside/Soutside who cares? If you're not near the bay you're a homo. :P

brisbane is just a big country town...not even really a city......
its infrastructure sux, and its public transport rates as some of the worst in the world.
bands/entertainers reguraly bypass brisbane shows, only playing down south.
does that not say something to you?

as for northside/southside...
brisbane has 4 sides. its not 1 line of houses from Munruben to Kallangur.
and it seems most of the arguments involve travelling away from where you live.
to me, all roads and the people who drive them in brisbane suck.
couldnt use a roundabout to save themselves and couldnt merge if there life depended on it.

i think they should fill the river in and make it one big free carpark with a highway down the middle and exits every 5 kms with free bus services to the city. no cars should be allowed in the city, other than commercial vehicles, police/fire etc, and public transport.

they should also make suncorp stadium and the gabba water reservoirs.
and put sporting grounds out where the water catchment areas are now.
it never rains out there so games wouldnt be washed out, and it gets rid of all the bogan football fans on game days......

bands/entertainers reguraly bypass brisbane shows

I live in Brissy and 90% play in brissy. IT SUCKS.

Well anywhere close to the CBD is f***ed for loading and parking.

louie:

10/10 for a vivid imagination

louie, where did you get that imagination from.. especially about bands bypassing brisbane.. rarely does a band not play here..

oh i know of a couple that lamed me out.
radiohead and tool (one tour before lateralus came out me thinks).....
theres others....
like sideshows for festivals.....heaps from the last couple of big gay als..

yeah i imagine things........its what i do !!!!!!

yeah 3dee i share the same problem....solution. get a commercial vehicle permit and push those 20 minute loading zones to there limit.....
shouldnt take ludavico more than 20 minutes to bump in anyways !!!!!!
you seen our gear???!???
we do it in 10.....

That's not the bands fault, blame that on the promoter..


care to list anymore..

Yeah it usually doesn't take us too long to shuffle in, but then theres the problem of parking four cars in the valley?! Parking in the CBD is a piece of s***.

3dee, where and what style you play?

Parking in the CBD is a piece of s***.

I agree, and the northsiders can keep that piece of s*** along with its river of spew.

St Lucia ftw

3dee, where and what style you play?

Some form of alternative rock: myspace
I'm the drummer by the way.
