Summer in the city
Now that the sun is finally gracing us with
its presence with a bit more regularity, it is the perfect time to
get out and explore Liverpool.
When people talk about the city - at least people my age -
you'll hear the words "great nightlife" and
"Liverpool One" thrown around, but not much else.
Last weekend, myself and couple of friends ventured into town for
the day. Unsurprisingly, this was to shop, eat and drink,
primarily.
But as we wandered from Cafe Nero on Castle Street to the Albert
Dock for a glass of something stronger, the glaring sun brought out
the details and intricacies of the city's architecture.
I can't count how many times I've been to the Port of
Liverpool building for meetings but it was only last weekend that I
stopped to appreciate its beauty and grandeur.
After a late lunch on Bold Street (The Italian Club - worth a
visit) we walked to the bus stop on Hardman Street. On our way
there, we stumbled across a live band playing at the Rockscape
installation from the Biennial.
For a city with such a rich musical offering, I'm a little
embarrassed to confess it has been months since I saw a local band
play live (unless Girls Aloud at the Echo Arena counts?)
With free entry, we were kept thoroughly entertained for a good
half hour before dashing around the corner to catch the number 74.
For all the sunburn, hay fever and melted ice cream summer may
bring with it, it is also the best time to discover what our
wonderful city has to offer beyond its shops and watering
holes.
