    Anyone know what is going to be in the space beside Penneys in the Eyre Square Centre? I'm dead curious, as it's been used for everything from a space to sell old calenders to Benetton clothes...I just about remember the steps that used to be there...anyone know?

    They have subscriptions to those magazines...Top marks on the Tom Waits reference.

    Is this where the Bank used to be in the Squenter? Jesus I used to live in that place when we were in school. Supervalu rolls and Sexy Athena Girl. Classic times. Crazy days.

    Well they are renovating Penneys(about time) so maybe they are extending out into that space? That's what I heard.

    Any ideas about the site at the bottom of Merchants Road where the old judo club used to be? Someone told me it was going to be a new music venue.

    That idea had been doing the rounds for a couple of years now. I know on the big board that had on the site a few years back it said it was to be used as such, so it seems to have faded away....would love to know!

    It has to be a good year or so. They've started building into the night-time too.

    However, the captions on them are quite funny. My favourite has to be the "Weigh!" one

    +1. I'm no fan of graffiti, but compared to the usual moronic tags, that one at least displays a bit of wit.
