Comments on: City Of Cultcha Revizzed http://www.thepickards.co.uk/index.php/200912/city-of-cultcha-revizzed/ ranting and rambling to anyone willing to listen Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:24:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Anthony http://www.thepickards.co.uk/index.php/200912/city-of-cultcha-revizzed/comment-page-1/#comment-63231 Anthony Tue, 08 Dec 2009 09:51:38 +0000 http://www.thepickards.co.uk/?p=3922#comment-63231 You should come down one day. Liverpool has improved vastly in the last 3 years or so. It used to be a funny city. Quite small due to a whacking big river cutting the CBD (Geography A level in full effect) in half. The areas of the city were a bit disjointed and disparate. It was a bit grimy and dishevelled. It also missed some key facilities. Then Capital of Culture was announced, and money was poured in. The city had a focus. The massive Liverpool One shopping palace has tied the river to the rest of the city. Shops have been moved around so things are better arranged (high street in Liverpool One, more interesting boutique shops grouped together around Bold Street. We've finally got a proper arena to. And some much needed decent hotels. It's finally a city that matches the pride of it's people, and it's kept better because of it. Some of the changes would have happened regardless off CoC, but it did give the city a kick up the arse to get everything done at once! The Superlambbananas were great. I always liked the original, even when it was unlovingly shunted around the city for 10 years. This year we have penguins dotted about the city. And a big wheel. I haven't been to see them yet, but I hear they're quite cool. (arf) But yeah you should come one day, I can honestly recommend as a great place to visit these days. (I should really blog on my own site rather than yours...) You should come down one day. Liverpool has improved vastly in the last 3 years or so.

It’s finally a city that matches the pride of it’s people, and it’s kept better because of it.

Yes, it really DOES take me that long to get parcels wrapped and posted, I'm afraid. Still, I'm very glad it's arrived :-) Extremely good of you not to have made much of the intolerable delay, I reckon.
