Last time I was there it felt 'shabby'. Truthfully, I think it's a shadow of what it was when I was a child.

Maybe it's just relative - Coombe Park's less shabby compared to the rest of the area!

Possibly, Lex. The city's a disgrace at the moment. I walked along a main road with the dog Friday, the state of it was dreadful. Litter, general debris, and plenty of used face masks around the bus stops. Now, if covid was so bad, surely these face masks are a potential hazard?

Yeah, I've always had the impression that Coventry's just a collection of post-war brutalist concrete based architecture. The litter & face masks are added extras!
