The Chocolate Factory
January 26, 2008
Interviewed some of the EBoM guys out the back of Chocolate Factory the other day and this old-ish dude came out wanting to know what we were up to. I thought he was one of the owner’s henchmen but he said he was a painter, living in the space Mark Gerada occupied for years, one floor down and across from where Lanfranchi’s was.
Crazy. Since the DA to have the place turned into a backpackers was rejected, it seems the building once again houses artists.
I know a lot of the inside has been gutted, it must be similar living there now as it would have been 20-something years ago when the first artists took over the place. The space where Lanfranchi’s was must still be empty though, as the door to it is completely barred up.

So what is stopping the riff raff from moving back in? Game on.
I think, the said old-ish dude chasing them away?
