Capital of Culture

Stranger things have happened but Liverpool is as of today; Capital City of Culture.
The city that brought us the Fab Four, Liverpool FC and...crime, chips, ...
When thinking about Culture I would not really count Liverpool among them but I guess every city deserve a fair chance and Liverpool maybe a few more.

Last year I visited Liverpool for the first time and I have to say its not that bad as people say. One of the highlights was being invited by a local family to come and visit the underground pub where The Beatles started. There was a real good atmosphere and the people were very friendly. ALthough I have to admit that probably ever pub in town was claiming 'the first concert..." The last time it was already clear that Liverpool was taking things seriously with the construction of many new buildings and hotels and sort of cleaning up of the streets.

As with many of these important events, the city real gets the opportunity to show what it has to offer and I am certain that this is not only the Beatles.
Good luck to Liverpool and good luck to Culture, next time it might be Nice...
