Dave Graney on the Tote Hotel

The Tote Hotel, Collingwood closes today. I find this state of affairs very sad indeed.

I tip my hat to Dave Graney who channelled the sheer frustration that all Tote locals feel on his blog. I'm a fan of Dave's turn of phrase and I love these angry letters to the government.

I found these photos of yesterday's last drinks on a website called The Vine. Taken by a fella called Marcus.
