These city walls

I've always been fond of the city walls. They had been closed to the public for a number of years but in the mid-1990's, with the peace process in full swing they were reopened. The teenagers of the city reclaimed them as their own. Now they are at the centre of a budding tourist industry.
Mr Maximo and Rabbit have allowed me to take a closer look at the familiar. But have you ever though you have bitten off more than you could chew? There is no doubt that the walls history is contentious, but they are also a thing of beauty, and part of a shared history. My aim is to present a potted history as neutrally as possible. This blog will allow me to share somethings that both will and won't make it into the final comic.....
