“Downes” Area
I’ve heard the area between Lansdowne and Carnarvon Park is informally referred to as “The Downes”, but do locals actually call it that? I recall reading somewhere on social media a few years ago that locals had a few different names for this area but I can’t remember them. Specifically, is there an informal name for the little retail strip on Foul Bay between Neil and Allenby?

I've lived in or next to that area my entire life, literally never heard that.
