Well, that's what he told me anyway. I don't think he did when I moved there... The Fly with wings painted on the school building is something I really regret never taking a photo of.

I moved there in early 1983 when I was at Kowhai Intermediate. I remember Fly - I mean, I didn't know him, but everyone at school was in awe of his talents, and I would look forward to him doing new pieces in the neighbourhood. Made me all nostalgic to read this. Nice piece of social history. ZOMG, that’s my street! I moved there in early 1983 when I was at Kowhai Intermediate.

It's awesome to see DJ Jam responding and still owning the name... MC Slam & DJ Jam at the Box and the Powerstation 1989 and all those AndyVann organised gigs with Semi-MCs and Ned Roy... Aaah - memory lane. Cheers Askew.

I have some crazy memories of Don Croot. When we lived on Levonia St, fresh from Palmy we walked up Don Croot to Sima's Superette when the Levonia Store was closed. I mean I'm sure it wasn't THAT bad but my little 5 year old memories are of kids running half naked in the street, snotty nosed, a couple of burnt out cars stray dogs, the whole nine haha! I apparently told my mum never to take me down that street again haha! But yeah, a few years later and that was the stomps. I had a lot of friends on that street and looking back it was amazing to think that some of them lived with as many as 3 generations of family crowded into a 1-2 bedroom flat. One mate of mine slept in a makeshift bed made out of a box under their staircase... I'm not kidding! School Road and Fourth Ave were each as notorious in their own way. There were a couple of pretty insane murders on School Road, one that left one of our school friends as the only survivor in his family. That was crazy. School Road park was also pretty sketchy. A friend and I got rolled by some dudes with hammers when we were about 12ish. Actually, that park is still dodgy as... Oh yeah. I have some crazy memories of Don Croot.

Fascinating to hear about Mark Scott's book, I'd never heard of that. Hey Elliot, thanks for a wicked piece, great read. Fascinating to hear about Mark Scott’s book, I’d never heard of that.
