Exchange Square (Manchester)
Exchange Square is located in the English city of Manchester. The square was heavily redeveloped after the IRA 1996 Manchester bombing. This reconstruction included the moving of two pubs to make room for the new Marks & Spencer store.
Today the square is a major shopping area including a branch of Selfridges, The Triangle shopping centre, a new entrance to the Manchester Arndale, including the world's largest Next store, the Printworks, and a number of pubs. The Triangle has a BBC Big Screen television attached to it facing an area containing ranked stone benching. To the south is New Cathedral Street and to the north, Shambles Square. The area is also home to many luxury brands boutiques including Chanel and Louis Vuitton.

Famous quotes containing the words exchange and/or square:
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
“Rationalists, wearing square hats,
Think, in square rooms,
Looking at the floor,
Looking at the ceiling.
They confine themselves
To right-angled triangles.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
