One more reason to come to Liverpool

So the day that Scousers have been waiting for has arrived - a reason to stop dragging ourselves to the Trafford Centre or Manchester city centre for shopping, a spot of lunch, with maybe a visit to the cinema.

Today the entire 42 acres of shopping and leisure at Livepool One will be fully accessible. Alongside the opening of more key shops and leisure facilities we will also have access to a newly-built open terrace featuring restaurants and bars alongside a new fourteen screen cinema, not to mention the chance to explore the 5 acre Chavasse Park. I have to say that I can't wait.

This project has been a long time coming but since 21 acres first opened in May it has been a major attraction and has improved the image of Liverpool. The Liverpool One project has definitely put us on the map and has had a positive reaction by people both within and out of the city.

I was very pleased a couple of weeks ago to open one of my girly mags and see Liverpool listed along with Montreal, Kuala Lumpur and Milan as one of the up and coming cities to visit for 'Retail Heaven' and a celebrity photo shoot taken in our very own Liverpool One. Who'd have thought several years ago that this would be the case, especially to be mentioned above Manchester? Certainly not me.

For too many years now we have been in Manchester's shadow but hopefully this development, along with the many other fantastic things that have been happening around the city this year, means that we will be able to shine on our own and slowly but surely eliminate that shadow.
