Surprise surprise - Stevie puts Liverpool top of his list!

 

Seriously, have you ever been?? Most people's perception of a place that they think is shit is based on something they've heard. Liverpool has a stigma about it, very much like Newcastle which probably does it a terrible injustice.

 

Nah, Liverpool is a bit of a dump. It does have some very nice areas, but on the whole, it's awful. I've got relatives on Merseyside (Wirral), so I've been down that way more times than I can remember since I was born. You drive through Liverpool from the Motorway to the Mersey tunnels, and it's full of derelict buildings/half-demolished buildings, huge bits of wasteland, and it's not like it's a temporary thing, I've seen it year after year. You think about some of the ugly eyesores of the 60s and 70s in Central Newcastle - thankfully we don't have too many, but central Liverpool is full of them. Outside Lime Street station is pretty bad - you've got St Georges Hall directly opposite the station, which is a lovely building surrounded by awful 60s monstrosities. Admitedly, in the last few years the centre has been tarted up a bit mind. And despite numerous trips to see us away at Liverpool and Everton, the area around the two grounds is incredibly desperate, and I can't think of a worse, more deprived area I've seen.

 

Cracking post Tom, said it all really.

 

Edge Lane on the way into Liverpool is absolutely appalling. Miles of derelict houses heralding the city-the worst first impression to any major city in the UK. The Paradise Street project (partly '08 inspired) in the city centre is pretty impressive though to be fair. Would have been interesting to have seen what the Toon/Gateshead would have added to it's landamarks if it had got the nod for capital of culture. Real shame on reflection.
