I think that's Blackpool's problem now that it's become so run down; aside from when they were in the premier league (apparently - I'm not hugely into football) it's the sort of place that people visit but wouldn't bother returning to considering what a ballache it is getting there.
You did right to stick to the prom, google pics of the town centre if you're curious but it's generally not a pretty sight and it doesn't feel any better in the flesh. Some parts of the northern quarter are just as rundown but you can't help but feel the creativity and life in the air, it's on a whole different planet.
