Model making and being sick outside pubs
You know those model train enthusiasts who make replica models of real railway stations?, well I think it would be a great idea to have a model of cambridge done, especially the streets that used to make up an area called the kite, thats mostly gone now and there is a shopping center in its place, a miserable thing that doesnt really deserve any words wasted on it.Well yes there are old pictures of the kite area but I think a 3 dimensional model would be great, I lived in fitzroy street fom the age of eight to ten and where our house was is now part of the grafton, opposite was the ancient druids, a pub, I remember seeing a bloke stumbling out of there and bringing up who knows how many pints onto the pavement. I was shocked by the behaviour I witnessed, yet I wasnt to know that one day I would be keeping that very same tradition alive, alas there was no chance of doing it outside the ancient druids though, that went in the late 70s.They opened a new pub round the corner and called it the same name but it was more like a big conservatory and had no character at all so I didnt spend much time in it, dont know whats happened to it I havent been round that part of town for a while.Anyway I think having a model of the kite area somewhere in the grafton would be an extremely good idea, I might mention it to my local paper but I probably wont, I dont think they would be interested.
