Coventry, city of culture 2021

[Tashyboy]

Well i have been a couple of times and it is an inside out dump.

We were informed ( by the locals) that what the Luftwaffe failed to do the council managed. To destroy what was once a beautiful City.

So why was it chosen? What am I not seeing.

Isn't that the point of the award? It smartens up the shanty towns of the UK
I mean Sunderland?

Perhaps the money ploughed into Coventry because of this will turn it around. No point giving it to a city that is already in a decent state. Part of the idea of this is to concentrate on one city and turn it around. From the sound of it maybe Coventry is most in need 😁

I did did think that before I posted LT, but I also thought of " Paint it, Polish it or Varnish it" as well.

Well, it will certainly test out that theory 😁. Maybe it is the ultimate challenge.

Was in Coventry last week for 3 days, which was 3 days to long.

They have the worst ring road system in the uk, the shopping centre is a dump and it never stops raining.

Bolton doesn’t have a ring road
The shopping centre has just completed a £20 million redevelopment.

Apart from that your bang on :rofl:

This is why I started the post. Apart from the rain. 👍

Perhaps it has become successful because of all the people that have been sent there.

Shouldn't the title really be "City of Cultures"

Should kill a few germs off

Exactly how I feel whenever I have been to Manchester except I can't believe that was ever a beautiful city.

In any event this is about celebrating arts and culture.
