I'm going to avoid it as long as possible. When the Bon Accord Centre opened I vowed I'd never go into the place, as I liked George Street as it was, but eventually had to accompany my ageing mother a few times. Still prefer to skirt round it via Harriet Street.

jeepers iv'e got a double out there, thats almost identical to the message I was going to post. It took me about two years to go into the BA Centre & still prefer going via the sacred Harriet Bar route!!!!!!!! I dare say its a good time to go to shops in this area

Hoping Yo Sushi has a good Vege choice for when I do go in eventually

It's a total idiot magnet. I've been sitting at work for two hours now and the amount of stupid question I've had has been unreal. This is the first moment's piece I've had all morning because mongers keep coming up to ask when the cinema's opening, or where the New Look shop is, despite the fact that I'm surrounded by bus posters and am wearing a Stagecoach uniform. Fucking idiots.

Just been down to the centre, since my folks were through and wanted to check it out.

Hated every second.

Why wait in line for 30mins to go to a terrible chain restaurant?

From the sounds of things, it's just another soulless wreck of a place that'll be torn down in 40 years for something else.

If you're going to open shopping centres - then it should be done like this - Stary Browar - gdzie ?ycie spotyka si? ze sztuk?

It's built in an old brewery and actually is quite an upmarket place, yet is smack bang in the centre of the city here. They've forever got art exhibitions on and is even home to a hotel and bar that's clearly 20 years ahead of most of the world. They're forever holding exhibitions and shows inside - one weird thing was a Rolls Royce covered in flowers.

This is how it should be done - instead of just being another bam magnet.

... you just can't help yourself, can you?

Had a wee stroll around on my lunch break and I wasn't really feeling it. Aberdeen already has half the shops in Union Square elsewhere, so what's the point? Lazy fuckers coming off the bus/train won't have to walk an extra five minutes to get to the Bon Accord centre? It's a fuck-ugly building too, and it's full of annoying pisscakes (although I guess that's to be expected on opening weekend). I do quite fancy a homemade burger though...
