Today I’m interested in Mecca, and I went on a Google Search to find out the top 10 Meccas in the world using the search query “* is a mecca”. So, here they are:
1. The outskirts of rochdale is a veritable Mecca for pylon enthusiasts.
2. New York is a mecca for young artists.
3. New York City is a Mecca for theatregoers.
4. The valley is a mecca for wine lovers.
5. The coast is a mecca for tourists.
6. The Vaucluse is a mecca for climbers.
7. Holland is a Mecca for jazz enthusiasts.
8. Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism.
9. The national football centre at St George's Park has sent out a statement of intent to the rest of the world and will become a 'Mecca' for students.
10. Palm Springs is a mecca for Modernist architecture.
Edit: In retrospect, after creating this list, I have decided that although I do not doubt the good intentions of those hoping to make the National Football Center at St George’s Park into a Mecca for students, good intentions are hardly grounds for making it number 9 on the top 10 Meccas of the world. Also I am a little bewildered by the fact that Mecca, Saudi Arabia does not feature. In retrospect, that should probably be number one.
