OK, we have enough barber shops now

324 Upvotes

Everywhere I go, I see new men's barber shops open. How many do we need? I didn't feel there was a shortage before, but in the past 5 years we seem to have 4x what we had before. What's going on?

There seems to be 2 on every city block. Even my local suburban shops just opened a second one.

Could anyone recommend suitable quiet locations in Southwest Sydney for a learner driver to practice?

7 Upvotes

My son has recently started learning to drive and is still very new. He already has a driving instructor, but I’m looking for a safe place for short parent-supervised practice once he is ready.

Ideally looking for somewhere:

- quiet on weekend mornings

- flat and open

- not a multi-storey car park

- not a busy shopping-centre car park

- suitable for basic steering, slow turns, braking, lane positioning, and confidence building

Areas around Edmondson Park, Prestons, Moorebank, Chipping Norton, Liverpool, Casula, or Campbelltown would be ideal, but I’m open to other Southwest Sydney suggestions.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Anyone see what this body of smoke was coming from the airport? Looks like it just happened (around 5:25pm)
