Default Union Square

Soul-less shopping centre? Good addition to retail atmosphere of Aberdeen?

I may check out Yo Sushi. Other than that, I have enough clothes, sofas and useless crap, thanks.

It's just more of the same. None of the shops offer anything which couldn't be found cheaper on the net. It is also one of the most grotesque features to be added to Aberdeen's landscape in many a long year. Not a fan, all in all.

was in today for a few hours, still a few shops to be opened like

i quite liked it

best bits: Handmade burger co. upstairs, its a bit pricey, but the burgers are AMAZING, like, truly awesome.

also quite like that cult clothes shop, and the apple store, though a bit crowded, was pretty cool to.]]

it does make that certain area of town look a LOT better if nothing else. but i think its really good, i expect this saturday it will be mobbed to fuck.

I miss it when Union Square was an abandoned train building used for sneaky car parking and for a homeless guy who wrote satanic messages on the wall along with dead seagulls propped up by twigs.

We went to the Westfield centre in W12 London,the biggest shopping centre in Europe.It was a horrible place,soul-less and absolute pants.I imagine this place will be pretty much the same.

I thought it was quite nice inside actually.

Had a little wander around last night.

The link to the train station looks good, with the old building visible.

Homemade burger co. sounds good to me. I would of went ape for the Cult Store when I was 14 years old.
I haven't had a full aimless walk around the place but it'll just be another shopping centre full of overpriced goodies I can get from the Internet at half price.

It will be a treat for tourist types.

Can it really be described as a flash mob if it's perfectly timed, choreographed, there seems to be music playing over the PA system and the light system is working in time as well?

Flash mob my arse!
