New residents help to build Molong of the future, for the future Tuesday morning saw the security fence go up in front of one of Bank Street’s beautiful buildings (photo above). Having seen generations of change, landlords, purposes and tenants - this wonderful building holds many a story about Molong’s history. This generation’s owners Peter Manwaring and Lian Loke are both a popular addition to the Molong community bringing with them their creative skills from Sydney. They have also encouraged friends to come and join them. Including Rob Carroll (see photo and story below) who is currently establishing his new business as well as artists Maya and Jacomone who have set up an arts and dance/performance residence in town. Thank you to Pete and Lian for choosing Molong. Next Week: The building’s history and future role
The creator of Molong’s new business (opening August/September) is Robert Carroll (right, centre) who moved to Molong from Sydney a few years ago. “I love Molong” Robbie is often heard saying to locals and visitors. Vibrant, entrepreneurial, creative, positive - full of smiles, laughs and fun - both Robbie and ‘The Molong Stores’ will be a fabulous addition to the growing diversity of retail shops and cafes in town. Thank you Rob for choosing Molong. What will Rob. be selling? See next week’s Express. (Photo right) Katie Mae and Alex celebrating with Rob.
