Happy Birthday Liverpool ONE!
WHAT a lovely
way to mark the 1st anniversary of the Official Opening of Liverpool
ONE site. On Friday, 29 May 2009 the city center was buzzing, but
this was not a big party. To celebrate events were deliberately low
key. Besides shopping at the now well established centre, people of
all ages, but especially young families, thronged the grass in
Chavasse Park; picnicking, relaxing and generally enjoying
themselves in the warm sunshine, even cooling themselves in the
sparkling fountains. Children appreciated the attentions of some
very talented face-painters and balloon sculptors, and the
entertaining jugglers who circled around. Recorded music, and live
jazz from a very lively Liverpool group, The Grapes, floated out
over the area. Delicious snacks and mouth-watering fruit drinks were
generously distributed by Wagamama where on offer. In the evening,
the well known Liverpool Batala Community Samba Band took over, and
the day culminated with a short firework display and the pounding of
drums, echoing all around the area. Every one we spoke to was very
pleased with the day, yet it was not only Liverpudlians who enjoyed
it, as there were people there from far as far as Taiwan, Algeria
and Lebanon (now resident). All of whom commented favourably on the
city and its friendly people. A couple from Stoke said that they
have been coming to Liverpool because of the Beatles, for many years
and liked what has happened to the city. Several people mentioned
the Mediterranean atmosphere to the day. Others visit regularly to
shop and enjoy events. If you haven't yet visited Liverpool 1, the
newly refurbished waterfront or the myriad other attractions, make
haste and do so now; you should be pleasantly surprised; as were the
American guests whom we met last week. Well done Liverpool One
and lets hope this success keeps on going!

BIRTHDAY!"
