  Craig Road was a colourful place. Political parties would put up posters everywhere, there was a shop that sold wooden swords, and you could even visit two mediums, including one on-demand. (Photo: Mayo Martin)
  In the past, brothels discreetly advertised their business by using white lightboxes with numbers in red. There are still a few remnants of these along Keong Saik Road. (Photo: Mayo Martin)
