This review is for Prahran Library, Prahran VIC

verified email - 30 May 2009

As libraries go this one is pretty small. It does have the advantage of being part of Stonnington City's libraries so you can order books in from the other bigger libraries. The dvd collection contains a lot of popular movies and TV series but also some more unusual and art house movies and series which I was really surprised to find there. The music section has some good cd's to choose from as well. The internet access is absolutely appalling though, both slow and not enough computers to share, and they don't even have wireless (wifi) for people with laptops. The book range is pretty ordinary though every so often you find something local or interesting, and you can always request something from another library.

Approximate cost: $FREE!

I wanted some good breakfast and heard that this place had just opened so thought I would check it out. We ordered baked eggs and coffee which were both pretty good. When I went back another night to have a few catch up beers with friends the music was really funky and the vibe of the place was chilled but fun. The people that work there are pretty rad too.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Somatic Health Care, Prahran VIC

I was having quite a few bad back problems for a while and decided to go to the Chiropractor when it got intolerable. Calling up they were able to fit me in straight away (because they were open until 7PM!, which is really good for fitting around other commitments). I was seen by Dr. Anthony Zandes who really knows his stuff. After the very first session I was feeling better and after returning over the last few weeks I have experienced rapid improvement. I was also referred to the Myotherapist Brian Kent at the same practice who's work has also really improved my back. Everybody at Somatic Healthcare Clinic were very professional and caring. The best thing though is they know what they are doing and do it very well. I highly recommend this place.

Approximate cost: $50

This review is for Coles Supermarket, Hawthorn VIC

Some staff (like anywhere) are friendlier and more helpful than others. Personally i have had no problems but they never seem to have enough staff on so you end up lining up for a while to buy anything. The 'fresh' fruit sometimes looks a little past its point when i get there.

The staff are bored or rushed and you can understand why...they work at a supermarket that is understaffed and so customers are always lined up especially in the express line! Some of the staff are really rude when you go to buy your food and obviously don't care at all, something that you should at least pretend to do when dealing with customers.

This review is for Streetwise, Hawthorn VIC

The staff kept pestering me if i wanted help, which i did not. They are there though to answer questions and know their stuff (which was good for a friend who needed a hand). Loads of mac stuff but normal prices on most things...nothing ultra cheap. Still handy location and helpful staff.

This review is for 7 Eleven, Hawthorn VIC

Staff are normally falling asleep bored but you cant blame them working somewhere like that. Good place to pick up a met-card, bread or random snacks just like every other 711. Because its near to 2 supermarkets there's normally not much of a crowd which makes it fast and convenient.

Reasonably priced (and tasty) food and very fast service. Its often quite busy as people know its good. Im vegetarian so sometimes find the choices on a menu quite limited but they were able to do practically everything without meat which is great!

Great service and friendly staff in a trendy building make the tasty (but slightly expensive) food all the better. Generous proportions and good coffee is a plus too.
