Tropicana, Weston super Mare

[maybird]

Does ANYONE know what's going on with this??

The news? Search tropicana on the bbc news website, it's always on there.

All current plans have fallen through and it's now in the hands of the council again.

I remember going here when I was about 10. Them was the days. Always thought the name was a trifle pretentious though. "The Tropicana: Las Vegas, Havana and Weston-super-Mare.

You did? To renovate, or preserve unstained (well, increasingly stained)?

Don't be daft. There's a reason it closed in the first place.

Drop in takings? I don't know... I was about 12 when I last visited it, and have only been to Weston once since then (last year, in fact), when I thought it was a bloody eyesore. I was just bemused that *anyone* would want to buy it!
