Another 'come to...' video. The PaintYourTownSHIT channel will be getting closed soon, after all the videos have been transfered here and gained plenty of views. Do you like urban decay; impoverish destitution, and the joy of being at the backend of the textile boom? Then come and live in Rochdale, where chain-stores are kicking the crap out of tradition. Come to Rochdale, and spend your days not knowing if you live in Lancashire or Greater Manchester. Do you like half-baked ideas and the 'do-gooder' backward way of thinking that council workers offer? Well the Rochdale town planners are obsessed with wasting your money on endless amounts of traffic lights, confusing junctions, and traffic calming measures that cause chaos and high blood pressure, and calls a roundabout-laden road a business park. Rochdale; because nobody cares about the damage great holes in the tarmac does to your car. Come and live in Rochdale, because living in a tower-block is considered posh. Rochdale; a town where the tramps are better known than the darlings of showbiz that were born here, where Bruce Springsteen lives in the bus station, and the Co-Op still has some credibility. Come to Rochdale; because you didn't want a garden anyway. All pictures and film taken on the 20th and 21st September 2010 in Rochdale Featuring College Bank flats, known as 'the seven sisters', Kingsway business park, Rochdale bus station with reference to a young man who always hung around singing and playing air-guitar, The Co Op and the Baum public house. Maybe I should have taken a drive around Kirkholt estate too as everyone's banging on about that Waterloo Road thing g4rdenspoon facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/G4rdenspoon/284634921659121?ref=stream
