So Negative

I for one like it

Glickhams - the oldest sweetie shop in Glasgow....just behind the Barras A wee wander around the Necropolis Take them down to the peoples palace, the fountain there is amazing. The Piping centre in teh city centre is worth a visit, good food in the restaurant and live Scottish music. The Art School ...

Walked past Walmer Crescent last week and noticed that the upper floor of the burn't out corner is being worked on, plasterboard internal partitions and new windows have been fitted. What a huge difference to the building. The windows appear to be white pvc, could be wrong about the pvc, but white.....

Excellent news.
That area of Cessnock seems to be changing, a few new shops, a new indian cafe and a fancy deli place on North Gower Street.

I ve recently noticed people working in the burnt out flats, at the end of walmer crescent. The owners seem to have finally started renovating the building.

I think Sunflower mentioned that they meet up every month...to clean up the area in front of the crescent....is it this weekend?

That's Brilliant
Looking forward to checking it out tonight

OH COME ON, Sorry to go back to the M74, do you really think Glasgow's going to profit from the extension, in what way. The extension makes it easier and quicker to bypass the city. The independent enquiry, which the Scottish Exec commisioned, found that the m74 would have a negative impact on Glasg...

Just the way house prices have soared over the last three years so have construction cost's.

There is so much construction work in Glasgow at the moment, that firms don't have to compete to get work, they have plenty, so they can charge what they like.

That's true, though they're doing a bit of development there at the moment .
