water reflected in glass
clean landscaped urban villages connected by the mall stretch
a middle class media haven
utopia refracted
green grass
maseratis, city lofts and post-production studios
fishermen on the bunds where controlled deep-water basins
lap the banks of the ship canal
sound engineers and digital media planners skirt the lowry
for the summer breeze
majestic architecture where manchester once made a dash for the high seas
fitness regimes for the forward thinking
coxed eights, from above, like a herringbone on foil
creatives on clean slates extending
reaching out
education in motion
higher living
away from the numbers and the background noise
fresh up from london we'd never heard of salford
they say it was a pejorative
not like "arsenal" in N17
but more like "lewisham" to the well-heeled out on blackheath
ten minutes up the road it still looks quite dodgy
now, though, people talk of "new salford"
opportunity knocks here
new doors are being opened
unlocked with a new set of keys
salford quays
