    Ditto Shropshire. I suppose there is the HDM website but it just irritates me.

    A wise move. Pills can prevent allsorts of unwanted events. Then again, Pils can stop you caring anyway.

    I'd rather OLM posted stories from HDM than a link to the website. That way I get to read the story and my phone gets thrown at less walls.

    I'm happy they are taking action to regenerate it, used to work in Virgin Megastore and still used to pop in every now and then but only for the Hull City shop until it went. The cinema was a bad idea, maybe they ought to try and redevelop that somehow too, saying that I have no idea how busy it is there.

    Vue is usually pretty busy from what I've seen. It's the busiest part of Prinny Quay alongside the restaurants on the ground floor. It's the bit in between the two that's the problem.

    Vue should get an IMAX screen, it would become a lot more popular.

    Vue's the best cinema in town, it's excellent, it's just killed the place as a side effect.

    I'm glad for this coz it's a bitch trying to read the HDM site sometimes - pop up car adverts and auto playing video nonsense I don't suffer anywhere else .

    I wonder if this is going to be a return to the glory days when there was Top Deck shopping

    The bar in the bowling/laser quest thingy seems to do decent business. So there's a call for it.

    They really need to do more to make the most of the waterfront location. How many other shopping centres are built out into an early 19th century dock?

    You wouldn't know that walking through most of it. Might just as well be in the middle of a soulless industrial estate.

    A quick update on Princes Quay...

    The bottom floor will be entirely food, the main floor will remain prime retail (stores like Van Mildert will move down a floor), the floor above is being made into the outlet floor and the top floor will remain just the cinema. The outlet floor is being completely refitted, the shop units are all being made standard sizes and all are getting new shopfronts, which will all have standard sign boxes, so all the units look exactly the same, other than the logo used. It looks like they're spending quite a bit of cash, works will start soon and the whole thing will be complete in time for people to trade for Christmas.

    It will be a shame to kick out the excellent photography gallery for COC2017, are HCC finding them a decent low rent city centre alternative?

    This is good news.
    The shops on the second floor should have been brought down by now really

    There was a presentation last week, with local and national retailers/brands, but I've no idea how well they're doing actually signing them up.
