Oh. I used to love going to the library to study............it was such a fascinating place with a real atmosphere, unlike many of the souless palces today. Was there one afternoon when there was a thunderstorm; it went very, very dark, and you could see the lightening flashing around the dome!:D
When did the 'maglev' link stop, and I wonder why such a clever technology was discontinued. I'm sure it was still there recently, but not in use. I'd love to know why.
It's still in use but not sure what the technology behind it is. It's brilliant though, even if the music they play does get slightly annoying!
I hate the new Bullring , looks like a giant piece of bubblewrap painted silver .
That's not the Bull Ring, that's Selfridges, which is just one shop!
The new Bull Ring is a lovely shopping centre and much better than the old 1960's one.

the bubblewrap covers more than Selfridges , besides its so massive it dominates the whole site .
I was in Brum for the first time in over a year last week and I kept getting lost in the train station!
I arrived at the new New Street station last month and I had no idea that was gonna happen, I thought I was dreaming! I was soooo confused. But, hats off to them for expanding it nicely, it was desperately needed.
Please show your support for Active Parks and get to Walkers Heath Park (Kings Norton / Druids Heath) by 11:00 today and get yourself on BBC Midlands Today too!

I think my friends had mentioned it so I had a rough idea but it was still confusing.
Brum really is getting it's act together and getting ready for a bright future - New Street development, the airport runway extension, HS2 on it's way, changes to the NEC & NIA, expansion of the Mail Box. I love some of the radical architecture - Selfridges & The Cube stand out. As an adopted Silhillian I love the area. It's been 10 years this summer since I moved to the area and have no regrets.
My father-in-law is Brum born and bred and was in the music scene in the late 60's and early 70's. He and his mates used to go to all the gigs and hang out with some of the bands. One of his (girl) friends turned Mick Jagger down one night after a gig! They have some great stories although I'm convinced they're all true!

I have been to Villa Park on several occasions

Cable pull technology now I'm afraid, very boring.

Walkers Heath Park is one of the five pilot Active Parks.
They will be recording one of the many free activities provided in the park.
If you are local and enjoy tennis, please come down and give your support. Meeting at the courts.

Classic!!:D
Ha! That's a blast from the past . . "Eat like a king for £1"

As you say though, it was badly needed.

That is all.
Loved it, but then, didn't know anything else.
