I went past the Manchester Hard Rock yesterday. I didn't intend to, but there were some problems with the trams which meant I had to get off a few stops earlier and walk.

I would have gone in but I was already late so I didn't have time. I've been in the Printworks before, and the Triangle and Urbis on the other side of the street, and they're both very interesting to look at. I really like Manchester city centre.

Just to let you know that the Hard Rock Casino in Manchester has now closed, due to poor levels of trading.

The casino was nice (if a bit boring compared to Vegas or Atlantic City offerings) so I am saddened to hear it couldn't make a go of it... but the CAFE in Manchester is gold, so I am relieved that it's still open! :-)
