some of the longer pieces here and on other forums , I find preferable . particularly if you get a feel for the day , the mood the vibe … what song was playing as they drove down Parramatta Rd , their cologne , artfully curated wardrobe , sound of the front door, as it’s pushed back and the little bell tinkles, signalling your presence…
And I do enjoy short form poetry , which can be harder o get right
a shop I go
little bro hard
pineapple
suck good
There’s a few long form writers who whole distinct , have their merits ,(ah)lungor amongst them and that guy Victor ? who always wrote about his clothes and hung out at QVB, too name a few
Personally I’ve found reviews mostly helpful in terms of shop description /amenities And some now past fave shops such as 335 Gardeners, made aware of because forum reviews. The discussion about the women, service provision interesting. Though overwhelmingly the description of a well managed shop , good management , good amenity and (stable) staff roster means a lot more
Short form answer —- YMMV
