Leeds is certainly getting a big name for itself.

Good plan.<br /><br />Jill is right about the trend in the USA. Outdoor shopping communities closer to city centers are doing very well, especially when integrated with non-shopping features like fitness centers, urgent care centers, condos or apartments in the higher floors, etc.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692250389062665906.post-83623521307503155952013-04-10T20:26:46.265+01:002013-04-10T20:26:46.265+01:00Apple Store???

When we first came in the '80s the only shopping available to us in the Washington DC suburbs was in soulless malls. But now they build instant "town centers" with street shopping in all the new developments (and there's constant new development, it never stops!) It seems to have become accepted that people prefer the community feeling. <br />Surely there must be some plan for Bradford?

I only go shopping if I absolutely know what I'm shopping for, although it's hard to resist browsing in the Apple shop.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.com
