St Mary St is having a bit of a rennaisance. Be at One (fancy schmancy cocktail place) is opening up next to Le Monde, the Cambrian is turning into a craft beer/hipster joint and now the conversion of an empty office building into a backpackers hostel.
Not only that but a number of long empty unit's appear to be filling up - Wok to Go near the Royal Hotel, Kaspers next to the Sandringham, the tattoo place that has moved from Floyds to a former opticians next to Greggs, the second hand record store in High Street, Turtle Bay are opening a restaurant in Hodge House and Morrisons are going ahead with their local brand in the unit on the corner of St Mary St/Caroline St.
Usually when one street in the city centre rises another one falls but that doesn't seem to be the case at the moment.
