Coburg North most definitely has been breached and I think Pascoe Vale has too. The M80 is the new fence… based on the style and pattern of the developments in the suburbs beyond though, I would be very surprised if the hipsters (in itself an outdated term now, again…) made it there. Much more car dependent and fewer mixed use/retail spaces compared to the postwar areas.
All too true. The hipster-proof fence that used to run along Bell St has well and truly vanished now.

@just_kitten @Thornburywitch Many of the OG hipsters have moved west to Footscray and Yarraville.
Or they decamped during the pandemic, and migrated to one of the towns around Castlemaine or Belgrave.
There’s also a steady cross-border migration to Newtown and Marrickville in Sydney.
@just_kitten where are the hipster places in coburg or coburg north? true north? cedar fox?
