What do you think of the city Coventry?

Question

What are your views/experiences of the place?

And why does it have quite a bad rep?

Answer 1

Only been there once, when they had to transfer grandad to Coventry Hospital. I always remember it as a depressing city.

Answer 2

I go to uni there, it aint all bad. There are areas you dont go (hillfields being the most renouned part) but in general it is ok. It is generally a cheap city too and recently they have built an Ikea (international symbol of quality).

Answer 3

i've lived in the west midlands all my life & have never been there. so i think that tells you everything.

Answer 4

What one?

The one in the UK?

Or the one in Rhode Island?

Answer 5

Coventry has less crime than inner city crime ridden Birmingham in which Birmingham has been named 2nd worst for knife crime in the whole country. Coventry is more nicer and greener than Birmingham and Coventry's areas are more safer than Inner - City Birmingham's areas.

Answer 6

It has a bad rep because there are some rough areas that always seem to be in the news for negative reasons.  It also looks a bit shabby in parts, but I believe that it is slowly being regenerated.

I have only been a few times, and don't find it very inspiring.

Answer 7

Because its a s**+.t hole, ive been there twice and as soon as I got there thats what I thought lol.

Answer 8

its a dump

Answer 9

Good cathedral and centre for Peace and reconciliation.

Answer 10

i love it, it's known for the shopping and there's ice skating, and the nearest movie theatre for me is there
