[edit] Anal Treet

- Go there some time. The street sign is repreatedly being vandalised to Anal Treet. Kinitawowi 12:17, July 31, 2005 (UTC)
From the article:
In Late 2004, AXM Magazine decided to open it's bar 'AXM bar' in the heart of Canal Street, providing an 'up market' and more sophisticated experience in Manchester's gay village by providing excellent cocktails and an un-rivalled level of service standards. This ever popular venue has marked a change in direction for Manchester's gay village seeing many bars follow suit such as Prague V's recent refurbishment to View and Velvet's new swanky cocktail bar.
I think this sounds a bit biased. Sounds to me like marketing hype. And I have been in AXM bar.
I agree with you, its a bit too biased. I live near Canal St., and been AXM and its not that good, if you ask me it's one of the less busiest bars they have.Nathgregory 11:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Ste b, so I've updated the article. I have removed the commercial references to AXM and Essential (retained Manto info due to historic significance). I've updated the list of bars and added websites where I could find them. I've also removed the references to Manto being the bar in QAF, since several bars were used. It now reads a little bit more like and encyclopedia and less like an advertisement.

[edit] "The role of Canal Street in the life of the Gay Community and the Gay Individual" needs cleanup
I found this section really hard to read, with some very complex phrase structure that seems to be incorrect. --Phelan 16:10, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pride?
Do you think we should have a pride section? It is a yearly event, much could be added. ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nathgregory (talk • contribs) 11:17, 6 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Speculation
from the article: "The continuing existence of a 'Gay Community' is also a questionable prospect. As society and Canal Street have become more diverse and pluralistic, there is little which may bind any such community together besides one of sexuality. This increased openness about sex in general, a more transient population and disaffection which some hold either over Canal Street or the 'Queer Life' in general, may ultimately lead to the end of the place of Queer as Folk fame."
These musings are speculation (about the future no less) and someone's personal opinion only and have no place here. Will remove unlessthere are objectionsVauxhall1964 17:00, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
I'd be happy for this to be done Etrigan 21:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
