It's bound to change though or it'll buck the trends of almost every major city in the western world. Areas like Govan and Maryhill have always had a bad reputation but they must be hellish if gentrification isn't having a big effect on them just now. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Easier said than done but if you can hold off for a couple of years it'll make a massive difference. See the Ladyboys of Bangkok was going to get set up in Pilrig Park for the Fringe this year, unbelievable how quickly the area's changing. @sjc no longer lives next to their usual site on fountainbridgeThat may, or may not, be a coincidence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The council tried to do it at Leith Links, had a load of objections then tried to sneak it through planning permission at Pilrig Park afterwards without anyone really knowing about it. Would never have worked well there imo it must be one of the biggest shows at the Fringe.

Yes. But we all know that Glasgow is bigger and better than Edinburgh, so it's natural that Scotland's premier city takes centre stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in Kelly's of Cults when I was a student. A woman was buying fennel and I had to ask what type of vegetable it was to key it in. She replied "you must get mother to give a tutorial in vegetables dear". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
