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.

A field where dreams become reality.

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. 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!

7 minutes ago, liampie said:

1. being able to catch the tram and the bus with one reasonably priced ticket

2. the old train station front before it became mostly glass

3. several shops that have closed down due to money issues

 Have to agree mate like I said at the time I was struggling but yeah mate some things here

1. Victoria Railway Station

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

If you learn something from every game, there shall come a point in time, when you should never lose... Jimmy Sirrel

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

Oh oh oh ohhhhh, everywhere where we go, watching super County putting on a show!

1. Arkwright Street which used to run from the station into the meadows.

2. Crystal Palace pub on Clumber Street

3. Local breweries: Shipstones, Home Ales, Kimberley Ales

Proud to be a Notts County Supporter for over 60 years.

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.

When people ask what 'American Pie' is about, they're missing the point. The song isn't about the lines themselves - it's about what is between the lines. The song is about what isn't there.
