Whitevale only has one resident left, there are a few more in Bluevale. They should be getting re-housed in the properties being built on the other side of Whitevale Street, next to the railway line.

Since they're recently build but in an older style façade, I don't know if you'd regard them as 'traditional style' tenements, but the flats in St Andrew's Square (and other new build flats in the Saltmarket area) have lifts. The newer flats on Tollcross Road at the top of Helenvale Street also have...

- Helensvale Park, Barrachnie Park, Bridgeton Park, Budhill Park are all missing their GCC signs. I'm 98% positive I was in the correct places (always a little bit of doubt) but I searched hard around the areas as well and no green signs.

You have been warned, chaps. Seriously, what else are you going to do on the 2nd? And quite aside from the Hunters Te...

I got married and kept my name

Was in the Piazza Italia in the Italian Centre on Friday night - food was nice, but portions a bit on the small side. Lemon tart was a scliver!

I love Dino's on Sauchiehall Street, family have been going there forever so it's like home. Sarti's also excellent.

my tummy button has now turned into an outie.

Oddly, there's a funeral parlour a couple of doors down!

HollowHorn wrote:Beautiful, is it in Partick or Dennistoun?

Dennistoun. Couldn't get a better photo cos of the van, had to take this one standing in the middle of the road!

HollowHorn wrote:It's a tenement close, no?

It is indeed, in the west end. Snapped a couple of weeks ago.
