Can you name three things that you miss about Nottingham? (that has changed over the years).

1.

2.

3.

I'll name my three things once this has gotten about 5 replies.

1. The old fountains near the Council House/Old Market Squad

2. Broadmarsh being a useful shopping centre

3. A more relaxed city centre

Struggling to be honest as I'm a country lad, but...

1. A better road system that used to be easier to get round until the Trams arrived!

2. Working on Highfields Science Park

3. The Grove pub in Lenton.

1. Argos in Broadmarsh [I don't like the Vic Centre one)

2. Subway being the same in every location, I hate how they cater just to Halal meat

3. Gamestop [Best game shop in Nottingham until it went]

1. Select a Disc. Spent so much money in there!

2. Knowing where things are! Businesses close down so quickly now and me going in infrequently, no idea what's where.

3. Buying the Football post on the way home from a match from the Trinity building in Trinity Square, still hot as they'd just been printed. Covered in ink, but didn't care!

2. Original South Notts and West Bridgford buses....is any one on here old enough to remember the free bus from Clifton to the Gem supermarket ( now ASDA West Bridgford)

3. Gash Football Special bus waiting in Meadow Lane after the match, destination board for seemingly exotic places like East Bridgford

1. The old fountains at the Old Market Square

2. Many of the lost inner city pubs

3. The 80's Meadow Lane [Pavis did well to modernise the ground but the old one is missed]

1. I miss Fopp being located near the post office not far from the square, they had better offers back then.

2. I hate how the roads have been tweaked so much they are now rammed with traffic, it used to much simpler.

3. Broadmarsh actually being a useful shopping centre, even the future plans are useless

1. Junior Magpies, the new name is just daft.

2. Vic Centre being somewhere you wanted to be, it's way too busy now.

3. Some of the parks which have been replaced with buildings and homes. :(

Living in America, I would say I miss Nottingham a lot.

1) I miss the buildings, factories, character and charm of Nottingham. It's a lovely city!

2) The old fountains and old market squad

3) Nottingham businesses such as Raleigh's, players etc.
