Posted in the Lounge rather than Midlands as those in the Midlands probably know. (and it's a general debate about our towns)

Other than having a greater chance than usual of being shot, Nottingham is such a great place! I've just been out for a mooch in this fabulous February sunshine.

I really love this place. Do you love your city? Post us up some pics.

Here's a few of the city I love

Your camera angles have carefully cut out most of the people. Don't forget also that Nottingham is an equal opportunities city, you are just as likely to be stabbed.

Nottingham, home of the Trip to Jerusalem, a fabulous hostelry.

I believe at one time it was also home to a Hooters bar.

I can confirm that the Trip has never been home to a Hooters bar.

However Hooters is alive and well beneath the Hicking building on London Road.

Hooters still going strong (apparently...just in case g/f looks hehe)

The Trip, a great place.

Have you found an out of date disco biscuit in your sock drawer 2 sMoKiN bArReLs? You seem remarkably loved up in the city department.

I've been in Nottingham for 25 years this year and am plotting my escape.

Grew up in Nottingham, in fact you have a photo of the entrance to where I lived.
I loved the place. I left in 1988 and moved into Derbyshire, I was very homesick and went back at every chance.
Not been back for 4 or 5 years now.
Cool story bro etc.

Yes, a great city. I went back for a visit last year, the trams are amazing, I feel safe walking around the city centre. They had some weird robins scattered about at the time.

Is that the 3rd photo down and is it the Park? Or Mapperley Park?

Or did you live in the Cornerhouse cinema?

The Robin trail. Was very popular. Sold them all off in the end. Bristol had an Ardman similar thing going on.

The Park. I'm pretty sure that's the castle entrance.

Tis the Park, just beyond the Castle. I do spend a lot of time in Langtry's opposite the Corner House hehe
