Liverpool
Not Bootle, not Walton, not Croxteth, not the Wirral.
But right in the centre of Liverpool.
I loved it. I was near all the architecture and the theatres and the waterfront and the shops. When I was 16 and started going drinking I never had to get a taxi home (I just had to avoid the scallies.)
Even when I went to uni I chose city centre halls.
I live nearish to Toxteth now but it's still in the city centre.
I need the noise and the life, but it's not as big as London, so you know lots of people who you see.

I like visiting the countryside but little cities are where it's at for me.

I noticed this when I visited Liverpool.
Despite being arguably quite big and important in UK city terms, the city centre was kinda small and distictly lacked the feeling of anonymity you get in a place like central London; a few times I saw people randomly bump into each other in the street and have a friendly chat.

Liverpool's a lil puddle
But a busy one, so you get the vibrant atmosphere of a city and the fucking annoying incestuousness of a village.

That's what I was trying to say.
I've never been good at being concise.
