    Back in the day, that block was built by Scottish Equitable (now Aegon) who at the time owned all the buildings their local branches occupied around the country. It was built without a tenant and has been only partially occupied for most of the time since.

    Whatever CSG do, at least it will breath some life into it.

    Check out the arches now at east market street. Good sandwich shop called guga and gannet,(owner is keen cyclist) excellent coffee shop called Bada budan (not sure why they have alliterative names) and a branch of the vino off licence which is also a wine bar. Fair bit of tat in the other shops. But worth strolling down that way in your lunch break if you work centrally. Sources suggest they will be clubbing together to put on a venue at the festival too. Favourit the cycle lane parkers did it last year but this will be better. There is also something called Chop House which has the biggest archway but it still hasn't opened.
