parsforlife Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 1 hour ago, ICTChris said: I don’t know Glasgow well at all - is this really some sort of cultural disaster? IIRC most of that area is nightclubs and fast food. It is a nice old building and now looks a bit cheap but what else is going to realistically go there? Strangely I think that’s his point, that the area has high fast food and alcohol consumption, so another one is bad. He’s seems to completely miss the point that these businesses naturally group together. And for someone who likes to talk about class and poverty there’s more than a slight dose of scoffing about people who chose to spend their money in such a fashion. He seems to have got himself in a right muddle over what he’s actually unhappy about, an area based on nightlife economy? the loss of a coffee shop(which you struggle to walk 100 yards without coming across)? The fact an old building now has some outlets at street level which it has for decades? All that he’s trying to claim as a loss of culture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bit of Sauchiehall St has been a binfire for significantly longer than that Glasgow City Centre in general is an absolute dump tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I often read people on Twitter and elsewhere say that Glasgow has turned into a massive bin. Does this have any basis in fact? A lot of the people saying it sound a bit raging about life in general so I always take it with a pinch of salt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a Starbucks and it had been shut and lying empty for 2 years. There is another coffee shop practically next door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Is it just me who thinks Glasgow city centre is a lot nicer than it used to be? In saying that they need to do something about Sauchiehall Street - once you cross the second set of traffic lights it becomes a right off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauchiehall Street is a dump. Argyle Street used to be ok until you crossed Glassford Street but it's massively deteriorated recently. There is a very small area around Buchanan Street / Nelson Mandela Place that is acceptable, but that is it. It's also riddled with American Candy, Vape and Tourist Tat shops.
