Looking at the above pics.. looks like a LOT of concrete.. wowie...I do hope, (like you said,) the Bohemian area , and Character of Bold street can continue.. Personally speaking.. I like the small outdoor areas and having a drink in that type atmosphere.. Keeping my fingers crossed for Liverpool.. On the positive side.. lots of jobs for construction workers , and "New" is good too sometimes.. I just like the old architecture myself... so.. lets hope more trees and some park area can be also in the scheme
