A project was started a few months ago to get our City Mall area on Cashel St 
reopened in time for Cup&  Show week, which starts tomorrow.  A plan was drawn 
up to convert shipping containers into stores which could be located on the sites 
where so many buildings in the area were demolished.

After some great efforts this new shopping area opened last weekend.  Yesterday 
we went in to have a look, and I took a couple of photos.

It's nice to be able to walk down that street again but most of the stores 
aren't places I'd normally shop anyway.  The highlight for me is having 
Ballantynes open - they're a premium department store and an iconic brand in 
this city.  They are actually trading out of their normal building but it's not 
quite the same as part of their building had to be demolished.

Cheers,
Dave
