The second image looks accurate

The first image there’s not many of them towers left now. They do exist but they are definitely not representative of the city.

Also Liverpool has more grade listed buildings than any other city outside of London. It’s the first thing people usually notice about the place - the architecture.

Yeah my Philly friend says "youse". Especially on WhatsApp when she's drunk.

The US with 100 states, all of equal population

 

[RJN]

I prefer my new state

The work that must have gone into that....

Does Birmingham not have a great intercity rail network? That’s a tiny dot given the size of the city - look at Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds in comparison.

The map looks like a giant thunderbolt hit London

I mean why would you want to go to Birmingham?

Oh I really don’t, sorry for any confusion

Imagine if these happy countries also had the unhappy ones’ weather too*


*although one might argue that it’s exactly this harsh weather that’s behind many of the factors that lead to happiness (such as Lutheranism and work ethics )

Edit: not sure why Lutheranism would lead to happiness but I just wanted to annoy the lazy Catholics.

I’ve been to NYC over 50 times and I’ve never heard of Stuyvesant

Meatpacking District looking strangely small

Everyone calls it Stuytown and its horrible. Never ending apartment complexes that all look the same

 

[RJN]

So money makes you happy?

 

[RJN]

I lived in what this map calls NoHo and nobody ever says that word

 

[Lucille]

So money makes you happy?

As does being COLD and DARK.

 

[RJN]

As does being COLD and DARK.

I find the cold and dark extraordinarily depressing but I guess I'm actually wrong

I’ve only been to NY once and I’ve heard of Stuyvesant (but I’m also a map geek)

Oh I recognise that, I just assumed it was part of ABC city

Also you see Clinton referenced a fair bit but most people at least when I was going just called that area Hells Kitchen. I think HK became very trendy and just swallowed a lot around it.

 

[Funky]

The only people I think who ever use Noho are property developers, trying to revive what was once a bit of a nothing area between Greenwich and East Village.

 

[Funky]

Midtown South also had another name because that’s where I used to stay a lot. Lots of trendy hotels round there. Something District I think. Can’t remember.

Union square?

Union square?

I think Flatiron District but yeah that works too.

No I think you’re right and Flatiron is it, not union square
