ArmiyaRomanova Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Was walking into town this morning and was dismayed to discover that Nicolson Square has been torn to pieces. The cherry blossom trees in bloom every April were a beautiful sight to behold - and they've all been chopped down. Anyone know why? What's planned for the space?

Coco Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I presume that the idea is to turn it into another version of Castle Street, the bit outside the Sheraton, the bit outside the Usher Hall - and St Andrews Square ... by paving it over.
