I’m in town now but unfortunately not on the drink this time. Town felt quiet around the station area and the streets off it like John Street. Guessing most of the footfall was up the Keel Square and theatre area. In Sunniside at the minute and it’s a bit busier down here. The Three Stories looks really impressive, can’t wait to go in, and The Elephant Tea Rooms building refurb looks tremendous and 100 times better than it used to look. The place is definitely improving.

Fairly busy in the pubs. In Peacock now.

The young uns were down Sunniside area as well, loads of them about. Parked in St Mary’s and had a smashing view of the SOL and new bridge. Was nice to just walk around the town today and take in my surroundings more, not something you tend to do when on the drink which is what I’m usually doing when in Sunderland. Some cracking buildings. There was a high ratio of dodgepots outside Jamesons mind but that’s normal. :lol:

I had a dodge in the Seaburn Inn for one yesterday and it was packed, struggled to get a table. I know it wasn't the City Centre but good all the same.

Picked family up from the station beforehand and town seemed busy.

Weather canny yesterday mate compared to the shitshow we had during the week so can imagine people made the most of it by heading to the coast. There isn’t a better place in the north east for me on a sunny day than that stretch from Roker where the yacht club is up to the top end of Seaburn where Latimers is. Only been in the Seaburn Inn once but was impressed, another good addition to our town.

It's funny you should say that, I had a coffee in Pop Recs before the Boro game and found myself focusing more at roof level as I walked through the streets, some of the buildings have so much character, there are of course still buildings that need pulling down as well mind.

Are there any plans for the old red brick BT (I think) building not far from the cinema?

That’s exactly what I was doing, was quite therapeutic actually :lol:. Love wandering around the town, you notice something different every time. In answer to your question I’m not sure, but it is a bit of an eyesore if it’s the one I’m thinking of.

Bar 808 looked busy which was good to see. Still not been there yet but I want to.
 
Toothless alcoholics arguing, saw 2 domestics in the space of 5 minutes. Only went in for a piss while I waited for the bus.

Not a big fan of Maxim either but that's for a different thread :lol:
That corner of town (pubs wise) is a dump mate, every town n city has similar, caters for benefits drinkers
