Tbf 'Seaside' and his channel does some good updates and he's a southerner.Good that. Her voice does my head in mind. The voice of Backpool - and she has a thick East Lancs accent. Not even from here.

Yeah it's a nice little welcome addition.Looks great that. In fact was watching the Rate My Takeaway guy last night on YouTube and he was in a very similar place in Manchester. If they provide really good quality American diner style food then places like this could be a real winner.
Not seen him. Seen the Walk on the Wildside bloke. In fact I drove past him on Anchorsholme seafront the other week and shouted "WALK ON THE WILDSIDE GUY!" and he waved lolTbf 'Seaside' and his channel does some good updates and he's a southerner.
JJ, only just seen that, whereabouts on King St is that?
Just as easy to be positive and sweep a few under the carpet hoping no one sees shit that is perceived as good.It’s always easy to be negative but the improvements around the town centre are obvious. Why would more plans be submitted for the old post office when the existing plans have been agreed? As for empty shops there’s not a town centre in the country not suffering from the decline in retail. The new office development in Talbot Gateway will increase footfall which should help with that.
Maybe next time you should venture out your car and have a better look at what is available in the town centre.
David, its the old st johns market, and opp the vaults of hop inn.JJ, only just seen that, whereabouts on King St is that?
My Grandma used to live at 23, which was a solicitors recently.
I don’t think anyone is saying that shit is good? Of course Blackpool has its issues but so does every other town and city in the UK. I would struggle to think of anywhere else that is seeing the investment that Blackpool is though. Which of the recently opened facilities have you visited?Just as easy to be positive and sweep a few under the carpet hoping no one sees shit that is perceived as good.
Haven't seen anything new about the old post office hotel, the plans are there for it.Anything happening to the Prudential building next to bus station, empty shops down Talbot rd. Was in town, didnt venture out of my car, Clifton St had plenty of door sleepers and it was mid day or later. Anymore plans been submitted regarding old post office. What about re seeding the grassed areas on the prom, has the council run out of money. Could reach 200 million in debt next year.
Where have you been? I can think of dozens of places getting more investment than Blackpool, some of which is in the North. You don't get the forests of cranes for starters that you see in other placesI don’t think anyone is saying that shit is good?

Some people willLet’s all moan
Yep, look at all the investment flooding in.Let’s all moan
It'll never happen at the speed people want and they'll always then be something else, but most towns or cities have places run down, it's just they don't have millions of people going through it or you've no reason to go there.You have to say the Prom is vastly improved, and the area round the station is getting there, but taking an extremely long time for what appears to be a relatively small area.
Hopefully that will seed further investment a bit further out.
The old St Johns Market didn't touch King St.David, its the old st johns market, and opp the vaults of hop inn.
You're wrong there Dave, it's was where yet another car park appeared in front of what was the hop Inn running between Cookson Street & back Topping Street.The old St Johns Market didn't touch King St.
It came out oin Edward St. Next to the Post Office rear entrance.
Think you're leaning more to Abingdon Street Market. You need to get out of Poulton occasionallyYou're wrong there Dave, it's was where yet another car park appeared in front of what was the hop Inn running between Cookson Street & back Topping Street.
That's Abbingdon Street market.The old St Johns Market didn't touch King St.

Sorry, you're right.'That's Abbingdon Street market.
Yeah he does some good updates, a little cheesy sometimes but he's a lovely guy, full of positivity.Forgot to say..if you want to keep upto date of all things happening in Blackpool check out below.... the new cocktail bar one was good but £9.80 each!! Wow
In summer the pleasure Beach is in full swing and the Piers too. They might not want to take some trade away with some rides.Drove down the promenade about 10.15pm last night.
Must admit, the temporary rides and attractions on the promenade (opposite the tower), looked really good.
A shame they aren't there in the summer..
Is that what they are. We drove down Yeadon Way on the way to the game on Tuesday and saw the lights.Drove down the promenade about 10.15pm last night.

Looks good. Snap anyone's hand off willing to invest anywhere especially the promenade.New hotel
Another major development, the company involved owns the Lyndene next door as well. So maybe they'd do the same there too.
Fortunately I posted that a few posts ago...New hotel

I've ate there plenty of times, always good and down the road at La Fontana, a bit cheaper and never had a bad meal there. Usually go to la fontana for bigger bookings of over 10 people, they seem to cope with any number unlike some.I visited Coleen Nolan's favourite restaurant and it's now mine as well
Do the good people of Blackpool realise what's on their doorstep?www.lancs.live
Never been here but it is on my list, but so are a hell of a lot of good places.
La fontana was good, went there a couple of times during covid eat out to help out...lol.I've ate there plenty of times, always good and down the road at La Fontana, a bit cheaper and never had a bad meal there.

I think there's quite a lot. Each time someone asked for somewhere decent to go there's a list of about 50+ places that people recommend.In general the surrounding areas are ok if you want somewhere to go.
Blackpool lacks quality restaurants and always has, over the years I remember Bosley Grill, Il Corsaro, Town & Country, Mandarin, White Tower, Kwizeen, the casino restaurants in their heydays, seafood rest on bond st, french place under the savoy and Saporis. Maybe a few more I've missed but not many quality ones spanning my time here.
As I've said before on here - we all know the problems but turning round a poor town takes time. Let's focus on the positives.Not a great site is it, setting off on the tram from the new hotel, first encountering an empty building, empty shops, smashed windows not being fixed. Good to see improvements but still so much letting Blackpool down.
I'm on about quality not average to good places JJ. ffsI think there's quite a lot. Each time someone asked for somewhere decent to go there's a list of about 50+ places that people recommend.
I think there's some great places and loads of decent places, hence why there's always over 50 recommendations each time someone asks where to go. Not sure what you want or expect ffs.I'm on about quality not average to good places JJ. ffs
Whatever happened to that Blackburn supporting Cllr Blackburn???
