Liverpool shouldn't be lagging behind anyone we can hold our own.

What you don´t get is that I have an opinion of my own and no one has the right to ban me because of that. I had arguments, ideas and opinions and so did westernlife (or whatever his name was). Then some other guys joined the discussion and started insult me, saying I was a retard etc...That´s something one should get banned for but no, instead I got a warning! You know full well I did not insult anyone, did no racist statements or anything like it.

There are so many on this forum who think LA looks too suburban. Nygirl has been complaining about this way more than I have. So either you just hate me or then you´re a racist because I haven´t seen you accusing Nygirl for bashing and trolling.

All this picture is short of is a passing ship.

Liverpolitan took a good one here.

Selected Leeds

I thought this was a wonderful picture worth sharing with people outside the Birmingham list

Not really a streetscape, but it shows a very good combination of the new/oldm oicts by Shel

I voted for Leeds but anyone dissing Birmingham obviously either doesn't know it or hasn't been there for years. I lived there 2004-6 and can tell you the city centre is very walkable and has interesting public spaces. I love the city and would live there again. It seems to get better and better too. I think the new Cube will add to the streetscape (if you can stretch your opinion of what 'streetscape' is).

LDN_EUROPE · November 4th, 2006, 08:20 PM

This is where British cities kick arse. Our skylines are still not much to write home about but at street level we're unbeatable.

You were warned because your original "argument" was nothing more than a snotty comment that was totally unprovoked.

And I'm assuming you don't know the definition of racist.

Thats a smashing shot, haha.

I'm quite sure I could find something similar of Glasgow too though

Erebus555 · November 5th, 2006, 02:01 PM

Just outside the city centre as well. I took that shot a few months back in the summer when some pillocks torched the Dubliner. If I moved the camera right a little, you'll see the bullring.

Accura4Matalan · November 5th, 2006, 03:28 PM

I like certain areas of Liverpool best, but the problem is that Liverpool's best streets are in small pockets around the city. The stuff in between them isnt too good.
I love Manchester's too. Especially the canyon type streets around Whitworth Street. The main retail area somewhat lets it down.
Glasgow is probably my overall favourite. Every street is different.

That was a very busy Pub called the dubliner. Also a no go area for any villa fans, as it was one of the homes of the zulu army.
