[@수정김-w8v]

I remember those shops I was there 2023. I miss Aberdeen..

[@MartinLow-m2z]

The Venice Cafe & Chipper takeaway, run by 2 Brothers, I've edited my mistake as it was actually the Premier Grill that had the Albino guy, He did move to Elgin tho

[@HomerSparkle]

Places I remember from Aberdeen in the 80s .... Cousins, The Other Record Shop, The Cotton Club, "Charlies" (Charlie Brown's), Aberdeen indoor market, The market stalls at the bottom of the Back Wynd, Aitken's Bakery, "Eesies" (Cafe ICI), Bruce Millers (and the Howf), the Capital Theatre, the Odeon Cinema, the ABC Cinema, Bakers of Union St., Fine Fare at the Bridge of Dee, Aberdeen College of Commerce (or College of Comedy, as we preferred to call it), Radars, Bon Accord baths, Bon Accord drinks, The "Crit" (Criterion bar), Henry J Bean’s, Carmine's (Italian cafe) ... many more. There used to be a knick-knack shop at the top of Holburn street ... I've long forgotten the name, but it was there forever. There was always a tea towel in the window with the words "Wha's Like Us - Damn Few And They're A' Deid". Never a truer word.

I visited Aberdeen for the first time 2 days ago and it was interesting how many shops,bars,restaurants,etc that were closed down.

[@crackerjack125]

And dont see them places open anytime soon as there now gone City centre is poor

[@MartinLow-m2z]

@@fitta74 blame the Aberdeen clowncil for that, lining their own pockets with ridiculous rent etc
