What Would You Miss? is this month's City Daily Photo theme and what a thought-provoking topic that is. Chosen by Pat in Serbia, she writes the Yankee in Belgrade blog.
If I left Manchester after having spent half my life here, I'd miss so much: family, friends, culture, countryside, the support of minorities and diversity in the city all spring to mind.
Possibly (friends and family aside of course!) I'd miss of all the Northern Quarter's quirky, small, independent bars, cafes and shops the most. There's a sense of belonging in many of them, of being part of a creative, appreciative, peaceful mindset, a long way from the ugly corporate mainstream. I'd miss places and the vibes they generate such as Wood on Tib Street, featured here.
Lots of reasons not to leave Chrissy :)
ReplyDeleteYou have so much vested in your community. Sounds like you'd miss a lot. Especially loving the "vibes"!!!
ReplyDeleteMay you never have to leave your city!

ReplyDeleteSounds like a good choice, Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteSo many reasons not to leave, Chrissy :-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting photo.
I also avoid the 'corporateness' of chain stores. Quirky and independent should be encouraged!
ReplyDeleteGood choice. This place looks quirky indeed!
ReplyDeleteYou have an interesting explanation, Chrissy. I would like a place like this, too.
ReplyDeleteThis place looks wonderful! The Cafes and Kaffee und Kuchen were my second choice on what I'd miss about Berlin. From your description, I think I'd like Manchester.
ReplyDeletePerfect name for what I expect is a very nice spot to visit.
ReplyDeleteThere is much to love about the local places, going somewhere with friends where "everyone knows your name." What a creative choice. wood, wine and deli. Yes, I would definitely love this spot!
ReplyDeleteBises,
