A Bit Like A Duck

A Bit Like A Duck

Not read much of folkestonenet.org.uk, didn't think there was a lot to it, and the broken links seem to back this up. However here's an interest essay about the creative quarter, and regeneration of the town in general.

"Folkestone's Creative Quarter is a bit like the proverbial duck, not much happening on top but frantic activity below the waterline or is that a lame duck with loads of spin and nothing happening at all."

This is part of my website The FG that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and stuff, and I know it was a useful reference for others who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from a fake newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
