Footscray: just like everywhere else, but more
Just like any successful boy band, each suburb of Melbourne has it's unique characteristics: Brunswick is the hipster- barista, Toorak is the fancy-snob, Epping is the cage-fighter, and Melton is the nobody knows because nobody can be bothered going there.
Other suburbs garnish their self descriptions with "we have a big Italian/Jewish/Lebanese/Ukrainian/ Chinese community"
Footscray gets to say "We got Chinese + Vietnamese + Ethiopian +Bangladeshi + Indian + Greek +Sudanese +Croatians +the classic English/Irish descent contingent" Add to that students +bogans+ ice addicts, and Shazzamo: the suburb of all suburbs!
