The Lost Normal of Sydney

The Corso in Manly, a beachside suburb of Sydney – February 22, 2020:

The Corso, originally built in 1855 as a boardwalk so tourists cold cross the sand spit between the harbour pier and ocean beach.

 

The Corso in 1915.

  1. I liked the Corso even though the crowd in some spots was a bit dodgy…

    I thought it would be a lot nicer if they put in a bit of an effort to change some of the awnings to allow for better visibility of the old buildings and diminish this variety of crappy signage and cheap lighting that didn’t really enhance the whole scene…
