We all see things differently---I walk down Cornwall Street and Ebrington Street for example and I see a vibrant, multicultural, independent business community--other people see a Sh!thole. I see a City with more building projects than ever before--others complain about students. Anyway I think I'll have my breakfast in the Brazilian Cafe in Cornwall Street tomorrow, followed by Lunch in Mama Rita's and then perhaps a cold Doom Bar in one of the Cafes overlooking the Sound---crappy place but I make the best of it

That is an utterly fantastic post.
I think I'm right in saying OG is from London (please correct me if I'm wrong!) and it's always been my experience that 'outsiders' seem to think a hell of a lot more of Plymouth than some of the locals.

Many of the quarter of a million residents of the city, commuters, business owners, tax payers.
General folk who read the Herald, support Argyle and frequent sites like Pasoti.
Moved here from London some 18 months ago.
Plymouth is a fantastic city in a fantastic part of the country. Yes, it could do with more job opportunities but so could most of the country. You not only have a competitive football team, you also have a decent rugby team, a fine basketball team, and a speedway team (that could do with our support if you are able). It is on one of the finest coastlines in the country and has the magnficent Dartmoor National Park on its doorstep. We are lucky enough to have a nationally acclaimed theatre where many big shows debut due to also having a wonderful bunch of stage designers. And with a nod to the Cornish, it is just a short hop across the Tamar to access even more fantastic countryside and coast in wonderful Kernow.
Be grateful for what you have, Plymouth. You could be living in some grim northern poo'ole.

Union street needs a complete revamp.....interesting the previous poster saying 250000 people care about it, I meet very few people who ever go down there....apart f on leon with his frequent visits to jesters!

Well said. We have a bit of everything and much of it under appreciated by the people who live here. Would never consider living anywhere else.
