Well done. I'm sure that's it but the pic looks as though it's from a time a bit earlier than I remember it.

Here's one from roughly the time I'm talking about...

Wow, I don't ever remember it looking like that!
I'm under 18 though (according to Marks and Spencers staff)

(Is it just me who gets a bit disturbed when the 'past' photos are from times I recognise?)


me too, i remember being dragged up that road to get to Buchanan Bus Station for the bus home. Was there not a wee fruit shop or butchers just past where the underground bit is? I remember the pub too, never went in obv but I always remember it all looking pretty grim.

There was a Malcolm Campbell shop in Dundas St where Avalanche Records is now. Is that the one you're thinking of?

Fascinatingly, the hairdresser's shop in the picture is still a barber's today.

Not necessarily - I neither puff the baccy nor polish the spoons anymore yet can still be brought into polite society of an evening.

Some would argue that this is progress.

Anyway, you ever tried one of those smoothies.....they're magic!
