The Changing Face of Cardiff

Went to Cardiff City Centre yesterday to see the new St Davids 2 shopping centre which opened on Thursday.

Taking away shops previously on the Hayes, the original ice rink, the outdoor fruit market and more, it's been a few years in the making.

Is it a benefit to Cardiff? Well it's nice but few new shops have aoppeared and, due to the recession, many shops are relocating from other city centre premises - tempted by reported four year rent free deals.

The likelihood is therefore that other areas of the city centre, certainly the Capital Shopping Centre, will be decimated.

My missus liked it tho!
