Wish they would do the same with round my way with Bognor, Littlehampton, Worthing etc.! I guess without the Turner connection or similar, we have no chance.

Funny this, as I was reading an article about residents moaning about the place becoming gentrified and pushing local residents out. House prices rising due to tons of Airbnb’s opening up. People would rather have a shithole full of drug addicts then a few decent restaurants and tourists bringing money into the local economy. I guess there’s a balance to it. I think it will continue growing into another Brighton over the next few years.
I still remember going to Dreamland as a kid. It was pretty dreppressing then.

It's the way it goes isn't it, "creative types" move in, becomes a bit nicer, eventually it's too expensive for them and the cycle starts again somewhere else
To be fair, Margate's a lot better than it was 5 years ago. Lots of decent drinking and eating places popping up as a result of those coming to the area and bring fresh ideas, and having new crowds who help those ideas grow.
Still got a fair way to go, it's been run down for a long time and has a lot of social problems, as do most small seaside places, but it's come a long way in a relatively short time, will be interesting to see what it's like in another 5 years time.

Going to Cornwall in June for five days. What's good in the area? Staying in the village Ludgvan as a basecamp and planning to do day trips to St Ives, Penzance and Land's End. Also looking to book a table at Outlaw's Kitchen on the way there/back. Presuming the whole area is going to be a clusterfuck during that time? Any recommendations on places to go and/or avoid would be appreciated!
