It''s been a depressing sight to see this once fine flagship property at the heart of Liverpool''s traditional premier shopping area empty and deserted. I often wondered what would happen to this great building once its previous occupants, John Lewis, moved down to Liverpool One. Now, with TK Maxx and Rapid Hardware occupying the other end of John Lewis''s old store, the entire property will now be back in business, and what a difference it will make to the bustle bus·tle 1 intr. & tr.v. bus·tled, bus·tling, bus·tles To move or cause to move energetically and busily. n.
