Aberdeen City Centre

[Edwin Starr]

Spoke to my taxi driving mate about getting tourism going again in our wonderful city.

 

He said we should make the harbour area into lady shops and strip clubs like they have in Amsterdam .

He reckoned that would bring in tourists get our bars and hotels  busy again .

 I don't agree with him but I'm sure it would work,  but we need to look at improving the city in other ways that would relight our city again .

The city centre is fast becoming a deserted town.

What Aberdeen or more importantly Union Street needs is a canopy the width and length of the street to create an indoor shopping and dining experience, all under one roof. If that doesn’t do it, throw in a light show. Aberdeen is crazy about light shows.

Additionally, eradicate the street urchins and drug users. Ban smoking. Build a self propelled transport system.

A ‘red’ light district in Aberdeen has the obvious potential to be affiliated with the football team.

When the red light area was a tolerence zone there were blokes who would travel here for it.

Not sure they were the kind of tourists the cooncil want but cash is cash. Worth a try.

Gash For Cash as the slogan.

Just saw that I was away to post. I reckon I must have just witnessed the worst ever Brent date (guess it must have been a first on tinder or something) 
 

Took CRIN to another level.

Holy fuck this boy is basically a billionaire, broken world records and saved dying kids. Best bit was he didn’t want to boast about it. Outstanding fabrication.

If it is someone on here fair play if you got a ride out of it.

What Aberdeen needs is to have some sort of philosophy for the future that is not driven by political career fuckwits. 

Give folk a lease for free in places in town for a year if you have a viable business plan or something.

Union Street is like a ghost town, surely giving young folk a chance obvious option.

Alright I’m nae likely to be going to some random coffee or clothes shop I’ve never heard of but at least give it a chance. Better than boarded up windows. Absolutely fucking no idea why they don’t encourage investment and giving folk a chance.

Ach I’m on a rant. Monday, folk been pissing me off at work as usual and never a good idea dealing with that on a Monday when I might be inclined to snap.

I have learned just to pretend I am taking onboard what they are saying and hope they appreciate that I am listening to them though. (Which I’m not)

I reckon my manifesto of tax rebates if you buy a season ticket at Pittodrie, capital punishment for any bigoted song, illegal to get offended by any woke shit that is in no way remotely offensive might be a vote winner.

Whatever happened to the policy of promoting "pop up" bars/restaurants/cafes/shops etc that started to become prevalent before covid - seemed to work well in other cities
