It's just not worth the effort of going there currently due to it being pretty deserted and generally difficult to walk to. It's also devoid of any character. Until the road situation is solved, and some retailers/cafes/restaurants move into the proposed developments, it'll stay in it's pretty sorry state. But I do think the John Street tower and the two nearby student towers will help tremendously if the developers follow through with their landscaping and surrounding area plans. If they follow through at all, that is...
