Thanks to Cam for today’s question!
Which cafe are you almost too scared to order from, for fear of the snarl you know you’ll get from the staff?
Maybe you know of a local cafe which happens to employ Satan himself as a barista.
Or is there a pub with staff that are so hilariously, unfailingly rude that it’s actually become part of the attraction of going there?
By the way, this is the last question for April – so go back over the last month’s posts, and vote on the comments you like best. The most popular answer on each post will be announced shortly!

Is there a hidden bar or cafe that makes for a fantastic little chill out zone?
Perhaps there’s a particular little area of a certain garden near the city that’s brilliant to relax in.
Or maybe you’ve found a little location at a public building that makes for a great silent thinking place.
Nobody knows how they start out, but we’ve all heard about a great Brisbane urban legend.
Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s definitely shown to be incorrect… maybe it’s such a petrifyingurban legend that you’re simply not sure what to make of it. We’ve heard them all – apparitions, burial grounds, weird happenings from Brisbane’s past coming back to spook everyone…

Oh boy, I’m going to hope that everyone’s minds aren’t in the gutter, and this doesn’t turn out to be the worst question I’ve added…
So – if you could turn invisible, what would you do in Brisbane?
Would you sneak into the halls of state parliament and observe the secret goings-on behind closed doors?
Perhaps you’d spend your time tripping over public transport ticket inspectors.

After you’ve lived in a suburb long enough, you begin to accumulate a few local’s secrets.

Is there a certain local way of doing certain things in your area?
Or perhaps you’ve got a celebrity living nearby that everyone knows about, but keeps tight-lipped about.
Every Brisbane suburb has its own local’s secrets – but maybe it’s time to share the knowledge around with others…

Brisbane has a number of odd structures – what do you reckon is the biggest eye-sore?
