Joe Public Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 In some two weeks Liverpool will become the 'European capital of culture'.Has anyone ever seen anything remotely cultural in Liverpool? And can you explain what advantage it will be to Toxteth or Crosby? Crosby?? Where did you pull that one from? Seeing that you are using it in the same sentence as Toxteth, perhaps you meant Croxteth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather of Manx House Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Its very easy to poke fun and resurrect all the old sterotypes - the ablity to laugh at ones self is what makes Liverpool a unique cultural place but what about:Fantastic modern and traditional architecture More listed buildings than any part of UK other than London A musical tradition stretching back over 5 decades with more #1 records by artists from the area than any other in the country Two of the finest art galleries in the country (Walker, Tate) Three museums The RLPO Two catherdals (biggest gothic catherdal in the world and a fine example of the best of post war modern architecture) Hotbed of worldwide culture (oldest china town in country, Irish centre, Greek/Swedish churches, Jews area/Synagoge, Somali community) Everyman, Playhouse theatres, Three universities More public parks and green space than any other metropolitan area in UK More TV/Movies than anywhere outside London (eg, Brookside, Liverpool 1, Zcars, Liverbirds, 51st State, Letter to Brechnev etc) Historic Albert Dock Tradition of social welfare (1st city health officer, 1st public wash houses, School of Tropical medicine, 1st school for the blind) Will that do for starters?? Superb. I do belive you may have somewhat put the OP's theory to the sword. Liverpool is a splendid city... ...GOMH*... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
