The comparison

Following my visit to Belfast yesterday I thought it would be interesting to make a compassion of the retail experience between what I found in Belfast yesterday and Newtownards, which I visited this morning.

I arrived at 10am and while the town was relatively quiet it did seem much more vibrant compared to Belfast and its retail businesses open for business.  No shuttered or abandoned premises to be seen anywhere.  I wonder are people abandoning Belfast in favour of the regional towns?
