What is your town known for?
Forums › General Discussion › What is your town known for?-
I'm curious, I want to here a bit of history. Some interesting facts. Do you love or hate your town/city?
I live in Brighton some people call it London by the sea. I disagree with that.
It's very artsy, lots of arts/entertainment festivals.
People often come to have 'a dirty weekend in brighton'.
We are also known as the gay capital in the uk.
Recently voted in Englands first ever Green party MP and council.So all in and pretty laid back, naked bike rides/crazy men wearing pink hot pants.. No ones even shocked.
I love Brighton
Tell me about your home
❤
