11 years and still counting .. if there's one thing that symbolises the hopelessness of this "city".

Well you could have a walk down Deptford, that`s been like that since the late 50`s, don`t hold your breath waiting for the Vaux site to be developed.

the vaux site really boils my piss,
i work just up the road from sid james, and drive past the old newcastle brewery site 10 times a week, and in 1 year its been flattened and the new building is near completion.

Sunderland is indeed a shit hole, but it's the same as 99% of the working class cities/towns in this country.

Dont compare Sunderland to Newcastle, as newcastle is seen as a capital of the north and as such gets a lot of investment.

I love living in Sunderland, its where my family and friends are from. My child is happy in her school, and i have another child on the way, and am getting support from a cracking hospital.

lets not get into another debate on here about whats bad about the place, as a lot of people love it, like me, but not just because of it's city center, it's what else the city provides that i love.

I reckon they see no future in Sunderland City center, the`re allowing it to turn to ruins, ready for the day we become a district of Newcastle.
