Youngest and I walked up the high street today, my 2nd time this year. Can't remember the last time I went in the Guildhall.
Maybe she was looking for Mothercare.After many year's surveillance, I thought I had finally spotted a potential customer, so I pretended to tie my shoe in the doorway and their conversation revealed that it was merely a friend of the occupant, who had just called in to show off her new baby.
You think the Guildhall is run down but you think the old Riverside, old Tesco and car park above were perfectly serviceable??When they built riverside they were not 'redeveloping a brownfield area'. In order to build riverside they had to demolish a large supermarket, a multi-store car park, a large leisure Centre and a number of smaller buildings. By no stretch of the imagination was that area pre-riverside either 'brown' or a 'field'. Nor was it derelict - all of the buildings that were demolished were perfectly serviceable.
I didn't realise it was the same people who run Loco Lounge in King's Heath - that's a cracking place.Loungers are opening a place in Staffordshire Place. Good news that one of those long vacant premises is going to be used, and, I can speak from experience and say that they run nice cafe bars with tasty food.

Old news. I commented on that on here some time ago.I hear Wolverhampton University are taking a unit in Stafford Place - at least it will begin to look fuller
A behind-the-scenes deal will have been done by the County Council to persuade the university that the shire hall is suddenly not suitable for their needs, and the council offices would be a much better option. That way, shire hall finds itself empty and so can be sold off, and the vastly oversized council offices are a bit more full. Win win for the council, who will have bought off the university with our council tax. The council won't be at all bothered that they have given premises intended for retail over to what is littke more than office accommodation, thereby creating another 'dead' area in the town where the public will not go, rather than the vibrant area that was promised to justify the obscene overspend on plush offices for the council.I hear Wolverhampton University are taking a unit in Stafford Place - at least it will begin to look fuller
You might of mentioned it, but then again some people might not pay much notice of what you say....Old news. I commented on that on here some time ago.
