Ascot Vale Alert

Anyone living in Ascot Vale, there's a man walking around with a gun.
Cops have blocked off Maribyrnong Road and Union Road - think he's in Union Road.

In other words, stay indoors

Highpoint was the centre of the universe when I was kid lol. Caught the tram there from Footscray. It was about a fraction of the size it is now too and it had a drive-in opposite. People living in Ascot Vale thought they were the posh suburb of the West  :wallywink.

There's still a drive-in near Seymour and one at Shepparton - there could be a message there  :rollin
