The Liverpool waterfront
by sandysmith
The Liverpool waterfront buildings - Cunard, The Liver Buildings and the Port of Liverpool Buildings, commonly known as the 'THREE GRACES'. -are an internationally well recognsed landscape, a symbol of its historic port. Plans are afoot though to add a '4th Grace' to reflect the 21st century.
THIS could be the view of Liverpool from the River Mersey in 2008. The modern designs which have reached the final shortlist in the search for Liverpool's 'Fourth Grace' were revealed exclusively by the local paper "Liverpool Echo" on Wednesday, August 14. This pic shows one of the designer entries. For more info see

For the next few tips though i'd like to show you the Three Graces as they are at the moment.

You have to be a member to get in, you can join 24 hours before you intended to go and your guests must have proper ID ie) driving licence- but once your in, get comfy coz you'll be there all night!
They have all the modern games black jack, roulette, craps (never seen anyone playing it though!) loads of others that I wouldnt have a clue how to play!
There is a high stakes area for those who like to spend loads! At the weekend the majority of visitors go for a meal and get dressed up - there are however hardcore gamblers in their jeans who have been there all day!
