I haven't been since I was little, they say it's going up as regards employment etc and doing better than other northern cities. I don't like how it would be subsumed by The Beatles, and I don't much like 'you'll nevr walk alone' and all that sentimental stuff, but besides that it kind of excites me, the waterfront looks good and there seems to be some good stuff to do there, music scene, nightlife and all. Plus the ferry. Sure Manchester has been cultural capital of the north but that's gone IMO, I think it might be swinging back.
Anyway is there anyone who lives there now, has been recently, can give me their verdicts 'cos I want to go.
