The wheels of progress are spinning madly in Manchester, England. Or, in this case, the Wheel of Manchester, which is located between the 16th century Old Wellington Inn and the steel-and-glass Selfridges store in Exchange Square. The industrial city, once a grim breeding ground for punk and post-punk bands, has been transformed into a lively place teeming with cafes, culture and music, of course.
