Advantages: It has good girl shops

Disadvantages: ...where do i start

Weston-Super-Mare is a well known place especially to tourists! I have lived here my whole life and to me it's not amazing but its home. When I was younger the Tropicana was along the sea front which was an open swimming pool, it was great fun but has now been closed for a number of years, though it is getting turned into a huge building with a hotel, bowling alley, shopping centre and cinema in which will be good!

Of course everyone was always on the beach in the summer even though the water is a horrible mud colour! That certainly doesn't dampen people spirits. There you can find children enjoying donkey rides and having an ice cream on the beach. We also had the pier here which was always packed with people. It was a cheap fun day out and you could go on ride such as the ghost train, go karts and 2p slot machines. Unfortunately it burned down last summer but is on the mend again now!

Also along the seafront is a range of clubs for the people who are into the nightlife scene! We also have a few mini golf ranges which again are in need of some work as your balls will always get stuck in the same holes each time you play. Though it's only about £3 each and is all good fun.

The town centre itself is usually filled with shoppers, not to mention the young chavs that hang around harassing people (which is so annoying). Some of the shops we have in Weston are New Look, Peacocks, Burton, Top shop, D2, Thornton's and Dorothy Perkins. A large majority of these are female shops and I think it would be good to see some male shops in the spaces of the shops that the credit crunch has wiped out.

We have a bowling alley and a cinema also which again could do with some work. Bowling is around £5, which I think is a bit high for the quality, though they do have special offers like 3 games for £7. Whenever we go we regularly get moved to another lane because ours freezes and stops working, and when I went last week it just kept only giving people 1 go instead of 2! The cinema only has 3 screens, the first is one where people see the new films so it's really big, and the other 2 are relatively small. You can always hear other films playing from the screen your sitting in which gets really annoying.

In the week there are a lot of young teenagers around as well is Weston College is just 5 minutes away from the town centre. To myself I don't mind Weston but if I came from somewhere else as a day trip I'm not sure I'd be too impressed!

Summary: 3/5
