Name that town

I'm looking for a flat. I came across this - which bits are most untrue:

Just about everything you need to live today’s busy lifestyle
is on your doorstep.
.
You’ll love this city centre living experience with excellent shopping
Facilities including many favourite high street names and a smattering
of chic, independent outlets. And once your retail
therapy is over, you can choose from a buzzing selection
of bars, restaurants and clubs in which to unwind. In addition there’s
the theatre, cinemas and art galleries to consider. The Art Gallery itself is
considered to have the best contemporary collection in the region.

If you prefer to live the sporting life there are excellent leisure centres,
including swimming pools, in Wolverhampton and Dudley.
The famous football ground at Molineux, home to Wolves, is convenient,
As are the horse racing at Dunstall Park and the Monmore Green
dog track. Then for everything from walking, running and cycling to
peaceful picnicking try the pretty Bantock and West Parks.

Wolverhampton has a thriving university just moments away on
Stafford Street.

For non-yam-yams, Wolverhampton is on a par with Detroit, and I don't mean the lakeside bits.

Come and live here in Shropshire Voley! Pleasant train ride into Wolverhampton, nice countryside, not too far away from your family I believe. Just stay away from Telford.

Ahh this last bit of this post has just qualified as my laugh of the day. Thankyou.

Best art collection in the region? Is Walsall not in your region anymore Wolverhampton? I know it is all rubbish but this bit is easily proved wrong. I once bought a book called An American's Guide to Britain - Wolverhampton Art Gallery was described as being 'better than you would probably imagine'
