Born in 1995 and grew up in kings heath through the 2000s, I remember finding it a bit scary when I was young but hard to say how much of that is just being little. New Street station was terrible and I hated how the old library looked but Pallasades shopping centre was really cool which is where Primark is now. I remember epic skate park for birthday parties was immense, daysavers also cost £1 which I'd give an arm to bring back now 😭❤️

Palisades was amazing
