It hasn't really been deleted, it's just under the M74 these days. :)


Yeah, it'll make the walk down to Tesco at 2am a lot more interesting, having to walk under that bridge. Hope it's well lit underneath.

Well, I guess it's got a few more distractions than my native Cambuslang Main St, but I do often wonder what South Lanarkshire Council are thinking....

It takes years to do these. So they'll re-do them and update a whole bunch some time down the line. If they didn't, it'd all fall out of date way faster than it already does...

Talking of Google maps (ok it's been a while), I'm already struggling to remember what building sat here at the foot of Finnieston Street. Can anyone remind me?

Thank you. And why not.
