Liverpool, United Kingdom
Once the empire's second city, LIVERPOOL spent too many of the twentieth-century postwar years struggling against adversity. Things are
looking up at last, as economic and social regeneration brightens the centre and old docks. Yet – even as any short-term visitor to the city could
tell you – nothing ever broke Liverpool's extraordinary spirit of community, a spirit that emerged strongly in the aftermath of the Hillsborough
football stadium disaster of 1989, when the deaths of 95 Liverpool supporters seemed to unite the whole city. Indeed, acerbic wit and loyalty to
one of the city's two football teams are the linchpins of Scouse culture – though Liverpool makes great play of its musical heritage, which is
reasonable enough from the city that produced The Beatles.
