Underworld reconstruction coming along well

The reconstruction of Underworld is coming along well, according to local builder, Owen Armstrong. The factory was burned down in May, by escaped murderer, Tony Gordon, Mr. Gordon and his accomplice Robbie Sloane were the only people killed in the siege of the factory.

Since the fire, Underworld has been operating out of The Joinery bar on Viaduct Street. The main factory is expected to reopen next month.

Is Victoria Court in trouble?

Since it opened in 2008, Victoria Court has struggled to fill up all the apartments, after all, it was born in the midst of the credit crunch, fast forward two years, and it still hasnt managed to sell some apartments, granted, it isnt as bad as it was in 2008, but its still struggling. Of course, the fact that Tony Gordon was the man behind these apartments hasnt helped either, with him going to prison in November last year, then breaking out and blowing up the nearby factory.

Hopefully, things will get better for this little gem of a building, it has definitely brightened up Victoria Street, though the fact its built next to a builders yards takes a little bit away from it.
