<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It's two years now since Cornerhouse arthouse cinema and galleries moved down the road to HOME. HOME has become a second home to me, full of great films, theatre, art and many a happy evening spent at the bar and restaurant there too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This sign at the old Cornerhouse Screen 1 remains in place today and it's appropriate for me in a way as, after 30 years in Manchester, I am about to relocate 445 km (277 miles) to </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">St Leonard's-On-Sea</span>,<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"> next to Hastings on the East Sussex coast. St Leonard's-On-Sea is, in my eyes, a little like a coastal version of Manchester's Northern Quarter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This blog, nearly six years old, will continue to run but only when I'm on my regular return visits to Manchester (my latest idea is to cash in a pension and buy a small caravan in Cheshire or Lancashire, or as close to Manchester as such sites exist- we shall see). Please do join me from March 1st, at my new City Daily Photo blog, <a href="https://chrissybythecoast.wordpress.com/">Chrissy by the Coast</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I sat and contemplated the other day at Soup Kitchen, trying to write my latest radio column but distracted by memories of the decades of fun, love, friendship, parenthood, laughs, culture, music, walks, work and political activism that I have enjoyed in my magnificent Manchester. Reflecting for <a href="http://weekendreflection.blogspot.co.uk/">Weekend Reflections</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A former bank that has been a pub for as long as I can remember. What a good use of a bank! Named, of course, The Bank, it stands on Mosely and Nicholas Street. The wonderful Portico Library is upstairs in this building. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I took this photo whilst waiting for some friends to help distribute bedding and food to the hundreds of homeless people in Manchester. Homelessness caused by the banks' crash in 2008 and the government's response to it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm not one to want to advertise products but this car in Barton Arcade made for such an interesting photo opp that I couldn't resist. I've even followed instructions re: a hashtag to win stuff at the Catalan deli who put it there. I'd donate food prizes to the many Manchester homeless people. Wish me luck!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Yesterday was partially spent at the Strawberry Studios exhibition in Stockport Museum. The legendary recording studio operated from 1967 to the 1990s, set up by the forerunners to 10cc. Mancunian and Stopfordian legends (and smaller artists) recorded here, as did musicians from the wider world of pop and rock. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Another day, another demo. For the fourth time since Trump's inauguration, thousands took to the streets of Manchester to protest about Trump and the special relationship with the UK that the unelected Teresa May is so keen to instil at any price. No to the Muslim ban, No to climate change denial, No to racism, sexism and discrimination against LGBTQI communities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Next actions include the initial meeting of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StandUpToTrumpManchester/">Stand up to Trump Manchester </a>group on Thursday 9th Feb, 5.30 Central Hall, Oldham Street, M1 and ongoing publicity for the national <a href="http://www.healthcampaignstogether.com/">Our NHS demo in London on Saturday 4th March</a>. It's great to see so many new and young faces getting involved- together we can make it a better and fairer world.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hope Mill on Pollard street in Ancoats was in business as a cotton mill by the Ashton Canal, way back in 1824. Nearly 200 years on part of it has been reclaimed and is in newish use as </span><a href="http://hopemilltheatre.co.uk/" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">a theatre</a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. #ReasonsIloveManchesterNo.3,754...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last night, <a href="http://www.cabaretvoltaire101.co.uk/">Cabaret Voltaire</a> recreated 101 years of Dadaism- this was the best part of the evening for me (along with the great vegan pizza and bottle of Brooklyn beer). The second act had some good performances, notably the poet on dating and the two anti-Trump sections but other pieces weren't for me (or maybe I didn't get them). Check it all out yourself on 2 and 3 February.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />A Saturday morning at Manchester's City Art Gallery. The City Daily Photo Theme Day for February is <a href="http://www.citydailyphoto.org/">Loving Life</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Away from the stress of another working week, many people who don't have to work weekends, can r e l a x . Solo with a cuppa and the weekend newspapers, or with family and friends.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">I was influenced by an effect I saw put to good use by Jack at the<a href="http://hartforddailyphoto.blogspot.co.uk/"> Hartford and Naples in Season</a> blog in December.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sometimes one photo isn't enough for a City Daily Photo blogger. In the severity of the global situation, I make no apologies for posting many placards from last night's rally and march in Manchester. 5-7,000 people organised with about a day's notice and said no to Trump's fascism, no to unelected prime minister Theresa May's fawning and acceptance of such policies and no to a state visit by him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Next Manchester action, rally and march, 2pm Saturday in Albert Square. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think this is my 199th contribution to <a href="http://oaklanddailyphoto.blogspot.com/">Monday Mural</a> but there's always something new and exciting to report muralwise from the streets of Manchester. This one was done last year as part of Cities and Hope but I took the photo last week. </span><br />
