McGrath, I did not mean to imply that I currently live in Belfast. I am originally from there but now live in Canada. It's just that everytime I go back home, the areas have all changed. A once catholic area is now a protestant area and visa-versa. Plus some of the respectable areas that once were safe are not anymore. Also the street that I was brought up in is still the same except nobody knows me anymore and I have to be cautious when looking round the old stomping grounds. Since the troubles started,there is a genuine suspicion and fear of strangers and I don't fault them for that, Hopefully it is better now that there is some semblance of peace.

I guess your right, most places are ok if you use caution.

Larry, you are correct, the Seamans Mission was demolished to make way for new development. It used to be by Corporation Street/ Garmoyle Street area of the docks. I imagine they will have a new one since a lot of foreign ships come in there.
