City Daily Photo Theme Day: What Would You Miss?


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.

  7. I also avoid the 'corporateness' of chain stores. Quirky and independent should be encouraged!

  10. This 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.
