Here are some more photos of things I like, don't like and completely dislike.
This is the main reception building of St. Edward's Junior School. Nice people. Very accommodating.
This is where kids in Years 3-6 (US grade 2-5) attend classes.
This is the Infant School for Years 1 & 2 (US Kindergarten to grade 1). There is a separate building behind the main manor for the preschoolers.
This is the central library and to the right is the Cheltenham Art Gallery which has free entry every day.
There is a farmers' market every other Friday throughout the entire year. It lines the main street called The Promenade.
This fountain is a major Cheltenham landmark. Very Greek. I really like the signpost in front directing the tourist to pretty much wherever they'd want to go.
The Cheltenham General Hospital
The Town Hall and the Bus
This place is gorgeous inside. I also like the public transportation system around town. It's very easy to figure out once you get the system down. However, directly next to the Town Hall is one of the ugliest buildings in town. It's a half-empty office building and an eyesore. What were they thinking?
In my opinion, this is the. ugliest. building. in. Cheltenham. It is called the Eagle Tower. It's only redeeming qualities are the awesome tree in front that was saved from demolition and because it is so tall and visible, it's a good landmark especially when on foot.
Parking in a double yellow line - illegal and a royal pain on narrow streets. People park on the double yellow ALL THE TIME and tickets are rarely, if ever, issued. Drives me berserk especially when trying to drive a wider American vehicle down said street.
The fact that no one clears their trays of food in restaurants also drives me berserk. They actually have busboys in McDonalds. I discussed this with friends last night and none of them mind it like I do. They said it was providing a job which I do not dispute. However, I really think people should clean up after themselves in places like McDonalds where this photo was taken. There are bins and places to put your tray just like in the US, but no one even thinks to do it. I really don't get it.
Okay, I enjoy art, but this statue is just ugly. And weird. And it is in one of the busiest parts of downtown. 'Nuff said.
