I was was born and raised in Preston (a suburb in Melbourne, Australia) and I can say the feeling of depression that Courtney captures so eloquently is exactly how I feel about the place. I had cause to drive through Preston recently and the mundane shabbiness brought all those feelings back. If I had a packet of Valium tablets with me, I might have swallowed the whole lot.
