http://thefremantledoctor.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
A blog about Fremantle, urban planning and placemaking by a town planning geek interested in cooking, history, politics and sport. Thursday, 11 April 2013. A weiro and his man cave. My wife sent me a link to this article. By Tom Cox who writes for The Guardian. 'My dad and the toad that lives in his shoe'. Is such a great read that I had to recommend it to Freo Doctor blog readers. Where I revealed his fetish for playing with my wife's makeup. Basically it involves snaffling him at unsuspecting moments a...

The Fremantle Doctor: Shut up and Stop whining: A guide to being a better ratepayer
http://thefremantledoctor.blogspot.com/2012/10/shut-up-and-stop-whining-guide-to-being.html
A blog about Fremantle, urban planning and placemaking by a town planning geek interested in cooking, history, politics and sport. Tuesday, 2 October 2012. Shut up and Stop whining: A guide to being a better ratepayer. My wife has a curious fondness for trashy celebrity gossip magazines of the ilk of NW, whose journalistic calibre was exemplified in 2001 when it famously published a comprehensive article of a celebrity event, including quotes and photos, despite it having been cancelled at the last minute.

http://thefremantledoctor.blogspot.com/2012/07/what-my-weiros-pearl-and-spiro-have.html
A blog about Fremantle, urban planning and placemaking by a town planning geek interested in cooking, history, politics and sport. Friday, 20 July 2012. What my weiros (Pearl and Spiro) have taught me about placemaking. In an alternate universe my wife is quite probably a crazy bird lady (a little like the crazy cat lady from the Simpsons but with better fashion sense). Our family consists of a couple of weiros - Pearl and Spiro - who have been with us for a couple of years now. This is handy for budding...

A blog about Fremantle, urban planning and placemaking by a town planning geek interested in cooking, history, politics and sport. Tuesday, 15 April 2014. Esplanade Youth Plaza looks the goods plus things Elodie likes and doesnt like. I'm really glad that this post is such an easy one to write: the Esplanade Youth Plaza looks the goods. Phew. I am impressed. A couple of years ago now, I wrote about Geelong's skatepark/youth plaza. I think Freo's is better (and it is in the right location). This week, Elo...

The Fremantle Doctor: Skateboarders and small wins
http://thefremantledoctor.blogspot.com/2011/09/skateboarders-and-small-wins.html
A blog about Fremantle, urban planning and placemaking by a town planning geek interested in cooking, history, politics and sport. Wednesday, 7 September 2011. Skateboarders and small wins. Eyesore – and it makes me reminisce about a place making conference that I attended in Geelong a couple of years ago. Trust me, I'm going somewhere with this. Talk about a city coming back from the sick bed. Geelong used to have a justifiably dire reputation, but it has been brought back from the brink. They did it in...
