They are costco ones
Millions of books to look through.decent prices too. Some real random stuff though.
I'd driven past it hundreds of times and never really realised.

Carrot cake was fucking huge as well!!!
Nope. Was there yesterday and it was busy. Sundays lately have been very busy too.I took a mosey into town on my lunch today and it was buzzing up there! Nice sunny, warm Autumn day and town was packed!
There is a fun fair in the city centre and with it being half term it was full of kids, people everywhere, shops busy, restaurants busy, pubs busy it had a great atmosphere up there today and something we should be striving for more.
Anyone else go up there today?
I’m beginning to think we should apply for jobs on the Back The Bid team!!Nope. Was there yesterday and it was busy. Sundays lately have been very busy too.
Things should get a whole lot better soon too with new eating establishments coming. We have The Botanist, Zizzi, Basement Browns (I am especially looking forwards to that one) and JamJar.
Once the new water park thing is finished that should draw more visitors as well.
Dale's bid, or the City's of Culture one?I’m beginning to think we should apply for jobs on the Back The Bid team!!
The high street?Had to use the bus, just gone through earlsdon. It's a pretty sorry sight in the day.

Not been for a few months, but used to be there every week. Have a number of businesses closed down then? All the bars and cafes still there?Empty shops, so many for sale signs. Was dire down the main Street

I am always one to defend Coventry when I feel it needs defending, but this is indefensible.
This is the wasteland next the Premier Inn, with the Belgrade Plaza car park behind it. Artist's impression of the new hotel and student accommodation.

That is hideous. Absolutely awful, ugly and uninspiring. And that's it new. Imagine what it will be like when it gets a bit grubby.
I hate those concrete pillars.I don't think it's the best artists impression, it's a reasonable building, the textured brick looks much better than the early plans you've shown below.
The worst thing about it is the ground floor level, it looks a bit blank.
I hate those concrete pillars.
Really don't like the building at all. Lacks style and shape for me.
Anyone been to Let Bistro Pierre in Leamington? Any good?
Saw a sign up today at Cathedral Lanes that they are opening a new restaurant here soon in Coventry.
I've been a few times, really like it. The tarte flambee is my favourite, an Alsace version of pizza.Anyone been to Let Bistro Pierre in Leamington? Any good?

Why do they keep building such high rise buildings?
I think they look bloody awful.
Yes, develop, but don't make everything so high and ugly.
Did someone say PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I've been a few times, really like it. The tarte flambee is my favourite, an Alsace version of pizza.
Just missing a shit load more student accommodation!
Didn't they have some VR representation of the blitz or something also???Can't find the thread, but the old Telegraph offices had an art exhibition and you could have one final look around before it started to be renovated. Comments from a few, including myself who went, was that of it being like the TARDIS inside. Well it must be, as it is now going to be a hotel AND student accommodation AND a five screen cinema.
I like the fact that it has an overhang to protect you from the sun or rain when walking along. In my opinion that should be mandated for every building.I am always one to defend Coventry when I feel it needs defending, but this is indefensible.

Yeah, heard good things about that place. Is it more for coffee, cakes and snacks, or do they do more substantial food too?That's really good. I walked past last week but I'd eaten in the excellent coffee house 'Finneys' on Greyfriars Green already.
It's hard to tell from that image and No doubt cost would come into it but why not cantilever or inflate the Columns dress them and reduce the number?I agree about the pillars tbh!
