Should knock all the shops down and start again, disgrace as a city.
I blame the council
Yeah, I've thought Sunderland is starting to become pretty grim with all the closed down shops, although all the building works only add to that. The worst is the area around Joplings and Fawcett Street, it isn't pretty to begin with but the empty units only add to the misery. I still go to Sunderland for the hobby more than owt else as I quite like the Arriva 21/X21 route.
I like Middlesbrough for shopping, they have a good range of shops, actually prefer it to Metrocentre and I'm not a big fan of shopping in Newcastle as I don't think the range of shops is that great and if you are like me getting through Eldon Square is just a disaster waiting to happen.
