THE COLLECTIVE
133 Ormond Road, Elwood
As a driving-impaired individual, I sighed at the thought of crossing the river - and then some - to get to Elwood for a friend's Birthday Bash.
Wondering whether i'd go, i sat down to watch The Bill in an effort to better relate to my US traveling buddy, who's a complete junkie for the show. Hence I was shocked to receive a phonecall from that very lass in the middle of the episode, but pleased when the conversation consisted succinctly of "Driving to Elwood. Wanna lift? Bill's on. Pick you up after. Bye."
Ormond Road seemed such a suburban shop strip, and so far from a bustling partytown that we wondered if we might have taken a wrong turn. Inside The Collective was a different story though; teeming with people, warm and well-furnished, with bratty punk, rocknroll and 80s tunes cranking out.
If Elwood were my locale, for sure the Collective would be a regular. But for now... and likely forever... Northside rules!
The bar closed at a conservative midnight, leaving a pair of northsiders feeling as though an extra tipple on our turf was in order. The Stabs, 2am slot at Pony. Perfect.
