Fort Street is also called Antique Row but no self-respecting local would call it that. That name is for the tourist trade but it does reflect that the street contains a lot of antique shops. This is one of many.
The black roofed building is Sen Zushi, a favourite Japanese restaurant.
Some women like shoes, I like tubes of paint and sniffing felt-tip pens and this is a dangerous shop. ;-)
I've always liked these two buildings. They're so different from one another but are good friends. In fact, I think they're cuddling.
I think the main charm, for me, about Fort Street is that the older and newer buildings just seem to mingle quite easily. Well I think that they do.

I like this street with all it's different architecture and stores and I too like the cuddling Castle and Hacienda!
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooooh I love stationery shops too! Love stationery of any kind which is great as i design wedding stationery. In our porch is a big parcel...new envelopes. They will smell awesome! Tissue lined how wonderful is that?
ReplyDeleteI love Forte Street for all it's wonderful neighbourhood stores, antique and otherwise. There is nothing better than walking down a street and window shopping....malls just don't do it. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely part of your world.

Thanks for your comments, sorry but my english is very poor. I understand your blog, and think is really good!
ReplyDeletei think i would stop by and have sushi and then on to the stationary store and load up on all sorts of things...i just crave fountain pens and felt tips too :)
ReplyDeletehave a good week.
I think I need to visit Fort Street. It is charming and quaint, and I'd hang out in the same store you like!
ReplyDeleteAgree, unlike Dundee the buildings do compliment each other, there's a sort of easiness about the street. I'd quite happily join you sniffing pens there..... do you stretch to a crisp poke with a dad o glue?
ReplyDeleteYou know that I'm off googling now, don't you.
ReplyDeleteLol... you might struggle with that one!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear your results.
Ha! Cruel man...

ReplyDeleteI'd go for art supplies over shoes, too.
Vancouver is so pretty.I, too, have a thing for pens, pencils and notebooks to the point of orgasm.
ReplyDeleteOmgish, how cute is your town? I'm so into looking at notebooks, stationsary all those pretty things.
ReplyDeleteAnd the architecture is really cool.
