 A busy shortcut into town, this was an empty wasteland for a long time and now, like almost everything else it is being redeveloped.

 before they dug up this spot I found this awesome piece of art there last year, sadly it has been mown down for the new buildings, I have no idea who did it or why but it was such a nice thing where now there's only rubble.

Ordsall Lane, Salford

St Peter's Square, Manchester

Then Piccadilly Gardens where there's always something interesting going on, in one way or another.

Then up Tib Street and round about a bit

I couldn't imagine the NQ without Tim's ubiquitous blue signage and Lemn Sissay's street poems, it would be slightly weird.

It seems I have been "working" on this project in one way shape or form for quite a while now.

Shudehill and a pint in the Lower Turks Head where there were, as always, very interesting conversations to be heard.

Overheard in the pub:

"Well, the wife's died now so I'm off to Vegas, aren't I!"
"Because I smelled a bit like a pot noodle, didn't I?"
1 man - "I can't eat soup, me"
2nd man "I've got a few soups in"
