Smith Street
About
Brunswick St, Smith St and Gertrude St. When the bohemian lifestyles left Carlton, they went to Fitzroy (however, they have since moved out to Northcote and Brunswick). Brunswick St has a mixture of eclectic and interesting shops, clothes and food. If street art is your thing, the surrounding alleyways and backstreets are also interesting as there is an ever-changing array of graffiti, stencils, stickers etc on show. In recent times, locals bemoaning the gradual gentrification of Brunswick St have transferred their attentions to parallel Smith St, and nearby Gertrude St, where the artistic charm, vintage clothing stores and great cafes are still at their scruffy best.
