QUIZ NEWS: No Oz Bar tonight. Off until September (Fringe)
==========
I visit various city neighbourhoods each week in the course of doing this quiz thing. Here’s my summary:
Leith: (several nights of the week)
Vibe: Less edgy than it used to be. Gentrification, but not in a way that wholly kills the groove… yet?
Trams and buses: superb.
Would I live there: Yes.
Gorgie: (Tuesdays)
Vibe: Multi-cultural. Best food shops. Cheapest charity shops. Lively.
Buses: choked.
Would I live there: Maybe.
Abbeyhill:(also Tuesdays)
Vibe: Artsy. Always someone setting up a pottery collective and eating Tempura. Buses: swift and fiery, especially the ones that go via Regent Road.
Would I live there: Yeah
Grange: (Thursdays)
Vibe: Posh. Dinner parties where people talk about getting the builders in to do an extension.
Buses: Choked up South Bridge/Nicolson St. A bit slow.
Would I live there: Probs not.
City Centre: (Various nights)
Vibe: Tourist hell. Crawling pavement pace. Drunken stags and hens. Gawping yanks.
Buses: Amazing,
Would I live there: No. Kill me now.
Where in the city would you live, if you could live anywhere?
