Phil,
Your photo's of the City,old and new certainly start the old memory cells flowing once again.My trips down town for a evenings night out where very rare indeed.
However,I do recall on one occasion when home on leave from Germany my brother taking me down Town,for an evening out and we finished up in a German bar .
I can't remember where we were but I thing that it may have been the Lowenbrau or it was Lowenbrau beer that we were drinking. Any idear where it was.?
