Carrying on the current trend of threads about various cities, I thought here's one for my home town of 18 years - Brighton!
My favourite parts of Brighton include Churchill Square and The Laines, the Pier, the efficient bus service, The Marina and Queen's Park.
In some ways I'm looking forward to the new observation tower we're getting in the next few years, but in other ways I'm wondering if we're becoming too much like London as we've also recently introduced talking buses and last year received bendy buses.

I am soon moving away, after many years, but will definitely be back to visit regularly.
Most of the people walking up and down it were your typical weekend Brits on the piss. The girls were barely dressed, fake tanned and heavily made-up and the boys were identically dressed with hatred in their eyes and Stella Artois on their breath......yet, walk past the cinema at the bottom end or the clock tower at the top end and these people were nowhere to be seen.
I always imagine they evaporated into the ether like a mist, as soon as they stepped foot out of either end of the street.
It's bizarre, isn't it! I avoid that area like the plague. I don't even know how to apply fake tan for a start.
By the time I left five years ago it had completely changed. House prices had trebled driving out a lot of the younger people and replacing them with property developers and wealthy second home owners. It wasn't Brighton my more.
I don't miss the city I left but I'll always miss the city I moved to.
The best cake shop in England as far as i am concerned, its expensive but definetly worth it, i get my birthday cake from there every year
I used to pass it every day and marvel at the cakes.
I worked just round the corner at the Media Centre.
Some are just amazing arent they?
They do the best displays at christmas & halloween, would love to get one of the big tiered cakes but i hear they are upwards of £500 :eek:
The one i get usually costs around £80 which is very OTT for a cake but its the best thing you have ever tasted!
The bus service, and having fewer cars per bus compared to most of the country
Having Green Party Leader Caroline Lucas as their MP
I love Lewes but find Brighton quite common.

Nah , Only Big Ben had the answer to Eubank, It was called the left hook !!
Nice Edit !
