Advantages: friendly folk, lots of heritage

Disadvantages: none!

There are a lot of bad things said about Hull but I feel that I need to balance this out a bit.

I was born in Hull 37(eek) years ago and have not had any yearning to leave!

We have a few council estates eg. Bransholme, Orchard Park, Greatfield, Bilton Grange, North Hull, which in some areas are quite inner cityish but its not all doom and gloom as on these estates there is quite a bit of community spirit.

I was born in a street called Arundel Street of Newbridge road then moved to Greatfield and am now living on Bilton Grange which are all east of the city.

We have Hull Kingston Rovers rugby team and the west of Hull has Hull Fc. There is a lot of competition between the two. There is Hull City football which this footy season has brought all of Hull together as they are in the Premiership!

In the town centre there is alot of regeneration going on resulting in lots of apartments on the river and big shopping centres which St Stephens is the latest of ( I dont think that much to it and prefer Princes Quay ). I feel that Citybuild are going a bit too far though and seem to be getting rid of all the heritage of the city.

We have lots of museums including Maritime, Street Life and Wilberforce and The Deep. Also Ferens Art Gallery. We have got quite alot of culture and lots of learning places too including all the colleges and the University too.

We are nice normal folk and if you come to our city you will find we are very hospitable. All in all we do have our negatives but what place doesnt. Come and try us and see what you think! There are lots of wine and cafe bars and cinemas and restaurants which you will enjoy.

Summary: A nice place to visit
