    The queues were coming out of the door at Mcdonalds at 8:30! No seats in Nero or Denbighshire travel cafe. Good bit of business for the town. Was disapointing that some places didn’t open early.

    I remember when that shop became a burger king and was seen as “really cool” – it was a wimpy before that. Hopefully the shop will be open as something else soon, anything is better than empty.

    There was a big fuss about the bin at the time, well at least in the evening leader! All it did was say a “don’t litter” message every so often, the first weekend I remember quite a few people hanging around it waiting. It was solar powered too.

    Was also thinking today about how the centre of town could have been very different, for years and years various schemes failed and developers went bust to build a indoor precinct where BHS/TJ Hughes is now – the Lord centre was a proposed name and it would have had a bridge link to the people’s market. An unknown point but would this scheme have kept the town more “together” than the eagle’s meadow development This precinct would also have incorporated the old veg market frontage – was criminally knocked down after years of waiting/delays (http://static0.casgliad.sequence.co.uk/Cluster/Media/Items/000/000/028/624/Thumbnails/Thumb635x353.jpg?v=0)

    I will go and see it as I am in Wrexham this week, probably easier than when it comes to London
