Hole In The Wall

Being born and raised in that part of town, I can certainly remember the Hole In The Wall on the corner of Stirling Street. It's an indelible part of my childhood memories, like the tram lines at that intersection, the huge animated Flintstones car and family atop the roof of the car sales yard on the opposite corner, and the bandstand in the park where the Salvation Army used to play on Sundays.

Incidentally, going back a couple of decades to the war years (my grandmother told me), there was another 'Blue Room' in what is now known as 'Northbridge'. It was a somewhat notorious nightclub on the corner of Newcastle and William Streets and was, apparently, the scene of many a scandal involving Perth women and American servicemen. Was today's Blue Room named after it...I wonder?
