Yes. I get a bit fed up of it too. You only have to look at some of Andingmen's photos to realise how much the city has changed, a lot of it for the better. The recent announcement of the Radisson can only be a good thing for the city. And while there may be charity shops and phone shops on Fargate (not so sure about the nailbars) we also have Marks and Spencer, Hotel Chocolat etc. The Moor has improved dramatically over the last few years and will continue to do so as more parts of the Heart of the City 2 scheme come on stream. As you say there are plans to redevelop Fargate and improve the shopping offer. I know we are miles behind the likes of Leeds and Manchester in this respect, but the public spaces are terrific and are a credit to our much maligned council. I suggest that if anyone is interested they visit the Sheffield Skyscraper City forum to find out why things do and do not get approved in Sheffield, and to se that it is not as grim as some people think.The lady doth protest too much...
You slag Sheffield/Sheffielders off at any opportunity. Rather than actually thinking about what really might be happening or looking into the situation, you prefer to go with the negative view.
The whole of Pinstone Street that you mention will be redeveloped. The old Perisian style block that fronts towards the Peace Gardens is to become a Radisson Blu.
