How great to see the long anticipated McManus has reopened after four long years of mass refurbishment. Like a belisha beacon that’s been switched back on a wintery February Sunday afternoon - there are now once again more culturally exciting things to do in the area than bus spotting and time table studying at the nearby terminal!
Glasgow based creative social network Central Station are coming to Dundee on the 6th of February and they want you to be there.
Finally, the Hilton is replaced with a series primary coloured blocks.
I had a look last night at the Dundee Waterfront website to see what the future holds and to try and discover if all the buildings will be six storey high and angular... sadly they are, but they have tried to cheer us up by making them all colourful and stuff... Legoland Dundee?
Another week past, another Image Of The Week. I was going to stick a photo here from the Dundee Jam thing on Saturday but I figured I have enough coverage of that. So instead its another construction related Dundee shot! Its not like you can escape all the building work going on here at the moment. It's just a shame that all that curiosity of what is getting built and Dundee invariably ends up with another dull box building with a jaunty roof.
5 points if anyone can tell me where this is.
It has come to my attention that there are not enough images up here for a 'creative' site. So it was suggested to me that there should be an 'image of the week'. So I will endeavor to post an image, every Monday (no pressure), taken from the week past in Dundee. It could be anything that links even vaguely to the creative aspects of Dundee City and I would be most grateful if people could send me images! Send them to links@creativedundee.com
To start off with I have this photo taken from the Waracle offices in South Tay Street. It is showing the Alliance Trust building having its first big bit of metal placed.
