First person: Have you heard they've diagnosed Reagan with dementia?

Second person: How could they tell?

Ha Ha!! (to Seanie's joke)

The subway franchisee that's coming to PHS has made a brave decision. And even although it will be part of a global chain the owner deserves respect for trying to make it work here in Porty. Here's a current Ad from Businesses for Sale.

I asked one of the lads doing the shopfitting. I might have misheard, but the secure kiosk bit looks consistent with a pawn shop.

Just found out on Saturday McAlpines the jewellers changed hands after 35 years of the son (Alan ?) running the shop. The person who has taken it over (Danny) was a wholesale supplier so maybe things will perk up a bit in there.

Appears that 3 presently empty premises are gearing up to open under new ownership - La Vie En Rose, Select & the shop next to Kost Konscious (sorry, can't remember it's name, was the health & beauty place!).

All have been getting worked on over the last couple of days, although only one that has a name at the moment is the previous H&B shop - now to be 'UrbanIgloo'.

the La Vie En Rose - seems to be a similar venture but looks like the products are more handmade - cushions, door stops etc. Opening on Tuesday.

Thought I saw folk working at Select the other day - good to hear that these places are not lying dormant for long.
