Graham Knight Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Only went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Thought it was great. Heard Papagallos closed this week as well Papagallos has a note on the door saying it is closed for holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geo1903 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Would Bruce Millers have survived had they relocated to Union Square?Aberdeen loves a shopping mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Just like how Creperie Jacques and Chicago Rock/Jumpin Jaks closed for "refurbishment"And Beluga, though I believe the note in the window promises it will be reopening in May 2010, so you know, fingers crossed.And next time Cool Thinker starts his pish about something definitely happening because he read it in the Evening Express:Evening Express - Article - Bar bosses hope to reopen Aberdeen pub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest droid Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Would Bruce Millers have survived had they relocated to Union Square?I think not, if the management let it go out of business whilst trading on Union Street, what chance would they have in Union Square.Let's see how long the new shop lasts ?

Scootray Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I don't think it's fair to say they "let it go out of business". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest droid Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I don't think it's fair to say they "let it go out of business".Fact...they had been hemorraging money for years, especially when they lost the revenue from TV rentals. The warnings should have been heeded by the managment at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I could imagine someone walking out in to union street. Looking up to the sky and just shouting fuck off with their arms stretched wide. then walking back in to BM like nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest E.C Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Union Street is just going through a rough patch just now - I reckon in the next 5 years the empty units will fill up with different shops/boutiques.As shit as it sounds, I'd rather see chain stores fill the gaps than have big empty storefronts. Obviously local businesses/boutiques thriving would be amazing, but better to have something than nothing.If Union Street becomes 'redundant' will Sir Ian Wood lower it to UTG level and fill it with grass?

russtyeh Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Surprised nobody has posted this yet:Industrial Auctioneers & ValuersFriday at 11am surely isn't the best time to do this?

It's an auction, not a car boot sale. The primary customers will be rival instrument dealers/shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Knight Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 The Bruce Millers auction takes place tomorrow.The catalogue of items for sale can now be downloaded at the following link.Industrial Auctioneers & ValuersIf the auctioneer follows the catalogue order the music items will be quite a bit after they have disposed of the restaurant equipment but I expect everything to go under the hammer quite quickly.Alan Cynic and the local museums should check out the 1949 HMV "portable" recording studio that recorded many local artists onto direct-cut 78rpm records. This item alone is part of Aberdeen's history and should be preserved.The HMV 2350 H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had money I would have easily taken the day off work to go down. No chance of me getting a Walls Ice Cream freezer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
