How could one city throw up such engimatic music, and culture?
It's like a mecca. To this day I'm absolutely fascinated with the city and other parts of the nort/north-west. It seems so mysterious to a southerner. Am I weird?? How do you mancunians feel about it?
Does it have a special vibe?
I mean to say, even when I was up there, there is some mystique in that city that is quite simply awesome. I just wonder who dwells there.
Stoo can you elaborate on why its' a hole? And what is Salford like to live in?
What are the people like genuinely...are they more alternative and not into conventional ambition? What are the schools like? Is there more community than in the south?
How was living there? I mean, I'm keen, you keep making me want more elaboration..

I live in Cambridge. So you can see why it would be more exciting. London is buzzing but it seems more for conventional types and rich types. It's a little too big as well.
 
Manchester and Mancunians come in for a lot of flack, but it's a great place to live for many reasons, not least the friendliness of the people. The NW is indeed a top area of Britain.
Who dwells there? Well, I do !
 
I'm Manc, and I think it's a great city.

I've been at uni in Brum for the last 4 years, and I don't think it even starts to compare to Manchester. I still come home if I want to go shopping- it's far better than Brum.

As a Salfordian I am obviously biased towards my own City, the City of Salford, although I do venture into Manchester to watch my beloved Manchester City Football Club.

The city does have a buzz when it is in full swing, but if you live on the edge of it (within a mile of the centre), Manchester is a hole.

The people are however more friendly as a whole, and unlike London, will actually talk to strangers. Just avoid football as a subject, unless you support Man U or Man City.
 
Not really. I know what you mean though, having lived there for three years. The place does have an interesting feel to it. The music scene there isn't so great nowadays. What do you mean when you say 'culture'?

I can't understand why anyone from England would find it so fascinating, unless you'd never been there before. It's like any other city - it's got a buzz to it, but it doesn't last for long.
