Xscape
Xscape is about a mile from my house. I picked Alana up from there this evening. She had been to a birthday party at Laserzone and I think she had a nice time. Xscape was built a few years ago on the site of an old coal mine. It's main selling point is it's real snow ski slope but it has restaurants, a bowling alley and a cinema plus various bars. It's great having a cinema on our doorstep again and a place where we can eat out. It's a busy thriving little collection of businesses. There are a few downsides. It's busy at night but not a place I would want to go. That could be my age but I do get the impression it attracts a certain type and it's not for me. It's also probably been the final nail in the coffin for the two town centres of Pontefract and Castleford. Pontefract used to have a decent town centre, with some good shops and it was also a good night out. Not anymore. It would have probably happened anyway without Xscape. People just aren't into town centres like they used to be.
