#Beetham Tower

[bluemoonstonesy]

love how everyone else has massive murals on main streets on the side of huge buildings and john has his little one tucked away on a side street in piccadilly nicknamed literal piss alley

The Beetham Tower in Manchester (UK) goes bwaaaaa in the wind, because of the decorative glass fins on top.

(Fun fact: the architect lives in the building, bwoo ha ha.)

(Also why won't the video embed. Why is it a link. Poo poo casserole.)

It made me think: what if the structure on TCam's head does that when flying at high speed?

(The vertical fin with the little red light on top, and the two slanting fins buttressing it and creating gaps)

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

December 8, 1808

Rose at 10. Wrote to Reeves; to General Hope; to Crockatt; to Dr. Flanagan. Sor. at 1. Left Reeves's letter at his house, he not being at home. Left Dr. F.’s at the Tower Coffee-house. But before going out, Graves came in to tell me that the mail for the packet would close at 5 P. M. this day; yet instead of sitting down to write to you, you see what I did. From the Tower Coffee-house to Madame Duval's. Called at Beetham’s and got my picture of Catherine L. To Reeves’s; he was reading my letter, and begged me to dine, being then l1/2 p. 4. I told him my distress about the packet. He sent a messenger to inquire. The mail would close at 5, but sailing orders would not go till to-morrow’s mail, and he is to get your letter along with those of government. So staid to dine. Left them at 7, under pretence of my great impatience to write, and went off three miles to O.’s, where I staid till 10. Two games of chess, and was beaten both games, though I tried my best. Got home at 1/4 after 11. Note: O. has found me out. Just spoke to B. and immediately came down to write. Couche at 3.

Manchester: A Fusion of Heritage, Culture, and Weather

Nestled in the heart of England, Manchester stands as a vibrant testament to resilience, innovation, and diversity. With a rich tapestry of history, a thriving cultural scene, and its ever-changing weather, this city has captivated the world's imagination for centuries.

A Glimpse into History:

Manchester's story is one of transformation. Originally a Roman settlement known as Mamucium, its history can be traced back over two millennia. However, it was during the Industrial Revolution that Manchester truly came into its own. The city became a powerhouse of cotton production, earning it the moniker "Cottonopolis." The legacy of this industrial boom is still visible in its iconic red-brick warehouses and mills, now repurposed into trendy apartments, offices, and cultural spaces.

Culture and Creativity:

Manchester's cultural scene is as diverse as its population. From world-class museums like the Manchester Museum and the Whitworth Art Gallery to cutting-edge contemporary art spaces like the Manchester Art Gallery, the city offers a wealth of artistic experiences. The Bridgewater Hall and the Royal Exchange Theatre showcase performances ranging from classical music to avant-garde theater, while the legendary nightlife scene, epitomized by venues like the Hacienda and the Warehouse Project, has made Manchester a mecca for music lovers.

The city's literary heritage is equally impressive, with renowned authors such as Elizabeth Gaskell, Anthony Burgess, and Carol Ann Duffy calling Manchester home. The University of Manchester's John Rylands Library houses rare manuscripts and literary treasures, attracting scholars and book lovers from around the globe.

Weather:

Manchester's weather is famously unpredictable, with locals often joking that you can experience all four seasons in a single day. Situated in the northwest of England, the city is subject to the whims of the Atlantic weather systems, resulting in mild, damp winters and cool, breezy summers. Rain is a common occurrence throughout the year, contributing to the lush greenery that blankets the surrounding countryside.

While the weather may be changeable, it hasn't dampened the city's spirit. Mancunians are known for their resilience in the face of adversity, a trait that has been tested time and again, from the industrial hardships of the past to more recent challenges.

Looking to the Future:

As Manchester continues to evolve, it remains committed to preserving its heritage while embracing innovation and progress. The city's skyline is constantly evolving, with ambitious architectural projects like the Beetham Tower and the upcoming St. Michael's development reshaping its silhouette.

Moreover, Manchester's reputation as a hub for science and technology continues to grow, fueled by institutions like the University of Manchester and the Manchester Science Park. The city's thriving digital and creative industries are attracting talent from around the world, cementing its status as a global powerhouse of innovation.

Conclusion:

Manchester's history, culture, and weather are woven together to create a city unlike any other. From its industrial roots to its vibrant cultural scene, from its unpredictable skies to its unwavering spirit, Manchester embodies the essence of resilience, creativity, and diversity. As it looks to the future, the city remains a beacon of inspiration and possibility, inviting visitors to explore its past, engage with its present, and imagine what lies ahead.

Manchester's iconic 'Tram Taylor' Swift cardboard cut-out is being auctioned off for charity

She’s as much of a landmark in Manchester as the Central Library, or Beetham Tower, or the Royal Exchange Theatre – but now Tram Taylor’s days are numbered. Thankfully, we’ve got our hands on her, and she could soon be yours. The cardboard cut-out of Taylor Swift has been watching over commuters in Castlefield for […]
