I have never really spent time at Federation Square honestly since it was built,but that changed. Through an opportunity that came my way I have spent a considerable amount of time mostly at night. I have come to like it,at night mainly because of the colours that the buildings change to when the big screen is on. And at night especially over the weekend it can be very busy. Being that they are building the new train tunnel and what I think will be an entrance to the tunnel, unfortunately the view of St Patrick's cathedral is blocked temporarily but that can be for a long period of time. During the day the place will be full of people watching the big screen TV showing the Australian open and it's a fantastic atmosphere that's if the weather permitting. Unfortunately for this year's Australian open its raining but will not last and the hit weather will be back. At night now that's a different place all together. The unfortunate for that place is that the best places in that square are the one's that unfortunately are occupied by the SBS TV station. It's hard to believe that they would give the best view of the area to something that will not be utilised to showcase this beautiful City and the view of the Yarra River. So while that area is blocked and there is no life what's so ever there is only one bar down at road level which doesn't do justice to that space. Not because there is anything wrong with the bar but because the square at night attracts more than its fair share of people unfortunately some off them are there and behave like morons. That should not stop people who would like to enjoy Fed square at night should not be disheartened from going there. There is security and police to keep people safe. The one thing that stops fed square from being what it can and should be a place for the people who live or are here to visit is to have a meal ,a drink is to allow the whole place to be the entertainment area which is incorporating street performances music outdoors cinema and definitely absolutely no Apple HQ or Google or any big company. Unfortunately I don't think the people in charge have the courage or the imagination to go and start something like that. But nothing is impossible
