Guess who? 
Can you guess the identity of this foxy
chick?
Clue: It's a familiar face from our Old Steyne site...... The first correct answer sent to emily@mediacentre.org wins a bottle of Peach Sourz. JUICY BREAKS – a city guide to Brighton and Hove The Juicy Breaks city guide to Brighton and Hove is the first in a brand new series of UK city guides. The Juicy philosophy is clear: their opinion is not for sale and they only feature places they would recommend. The new guide is an information packed, no nonsense guide to staying in Brighton. Those familiar with previous Juicy Guides will recognise the style but this city guide is glossier and full colour, presenting a slicker view of our beloved city! You can purchase the new Juicy Breaks guide online NOW for a reduced price of £3! Go to: www.juicyguides.co.uk Otherwise they are £6.99 at WH Smiths, Borders, City Books, Kemp Town Bookshop, Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops.

There is a common thread running through all these things, which could perhaps be expressed as: `The place where anyone can be what they really want to be`. The community here really doesn`t mind whatever your inclination, we won`t give you a hard time over it, and we don`t shock easily! Enter stage left the new architects Piers Gough, Nick Readett-Bailey, Richard Rogers and Frank Gehry! The first two of these recently took the platform at the City Forum, and gave a presentation of some controversial but stunning new projects. They believe ardently in the proposals for the King Alfred site and the futuristic floating sea-structure, which could between them totally revitalise Brighton & Hove`s seafront and city-scape. Our city has, they argue, rather lost its way over the last few decades, and the impetus that made Brighton so attractive in the Georgian and Victorian periods needs to be refuelled. This should be a city where fantastic, improbable, uplifting and exciting things happen, a city of Fun and Creativity! The effect of erecting landmark buildings in other cities, such as Los Angeles, Bilbao and Sydney has shown how these act as a magnet, a trigger for a surge in general creativity that brings even more adventurous people and investment flocking in. Let`s get these projects off the ground, see off the fuddy-duddies that would see Brighton go the same way as the West Pier, stop the lack-lustre developments which have plagued our city for too long, and welcome in a fantastic, daring, fun 21st century! It is time that Brighton & hove reclaimed its real heritage that of being `The Place To Be!` - whoever you are! Don Elwick, May 2003.
