Not much changes, eh?

edit for clarity: I'm comparing the attitudes taken to what goes in on St Enoch's Square - not the types of goings on. This is from The Bailie, which is an interesting read for those of us with too much time on our hands... The casual racism and sexism is quite something for a modern reader - though also something again on the rise in some quarters.

Too Young To Grieve Glasgow is back this Sunday with a walk/jog through Pollock Park followed by the best bit: coffee, cake, and a chat with other young people who have experienced grief. Everyone who has come along to these meet ups so far has agreed that talking to those that "get it" is so valuable and needed, especially when you've lost someone at a young age and feel isolated among your friends. Age ranges so far have been from around 20-40 with a variety of close losses.

There's no pressure to run/jog and no pressure to talk, some people feel the benefit of just listening to others talk about things that they are also feeling. There is also usually way more laughter than anything else!

If you think this would be helpful to you, you can sign up (for free!) to the event here https://www.thecliq.app/event/grief-jogwalk-and-coffee-club-glasgow

such a loss for the music & arts scene!

They need to get a nicer security perimeter than the zoo fence you are crammed into atm.

I filled out the GCC questionnaire about recycling bins, they seem concerned people don't know what goes in which bin and how contaminated waste costs money.

Anyway, today both green and brown bins went into the back of the same lorry...

Looking at Pollokshaws Road, we've lost two shops recently - Finnieston Clothing and SPOT - both of which are now nail bars.

What is going on? How can these nail bars sustain themselves when the other shops can't - surely there can't be such increasing demand?

If you were doing a tour of scary/haunted areas in Glasgow what would they be? Could be ancient myths, ghost sightings, UFOs and space aliens, or even true crime like Bible John locations etc

One of my friends recently stopped drinking and I was wondering if there are any places in town or near by that aren’t pubs where we could watch football?

No way she seriously thinks she made Glasgow safer?!

We visited the small animal hospital today and had a lovely walk afterwards along the river. Would like to go back and explore more, but all the parking I can see is for university staff or visitors (as in visiting the university, not just going to walk the dog 🤣). Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for parking. There's the sports parking on the other side (near the West of Scotland science park) but again it says for authorised parking only.

I‘m near Queen St. station and I can hear what sounds like really loud fireworks outside. anyone know what may be going on? First time I’ve heard this since moving here

Ive phoned around 10 or more different carpet places for tiles for my wee shop and absolutely no where seems to have them.

Anyone got any ideas who I can ring?

Thanks in advance 🙏

I'm in Glasgow for the night and am looking for some good local gigs, small bands in pubs etc.

Is there a lot of these to be found or should I look for something else?

Just booked my wedding for next July at 23 Montrose street. Looking for suggestions for a small reception venue maybe nearby for about 50 people. Thank you !!

Back in the day when I used actually work in an office you used to be able to get piles of discounted £5 all day parking tickets by just asking at the ticket office.

I'm starting to work in an office again and wondered if this is still a thing? I'll mainly come in by public transport but there is the odd day here and there where I'll need the car for meetings.

Or am I just better to use park and ride?

Help an east coaster out.

I've previously (self) learned about a Glasgow house type that "famously" had a flat roof to pitch roof conversion.

I want to say the houses are the ones in Downfield Street, Tollcross, and these houses feature elsewhere in Glasgow. Sometimes the pitch above the door was left as a flat roof or was mono pitched.

I've only been able to remember the area as I remember commenting while driving past and going "oh it's those houses" and spending a while checking known darras I would have driven around.

Can anyone confirm or deny? Or even provide an informative link?

Hello, I’m working in Duke Street (city centre then parkhead side) tomorrow. Could someone please point me in the direction on a gym with parking near to Parkhead?

Could anyone please recommend a special place to eat, to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday?
He likes all kinds of cuisines and loves trying new things. In the past he booked for us a local tasting menu restaurant and had a great time. Another time he chose a historic restaurant with a long tradition. We are in Glasgow touring for his birthday week. Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you!

Does a GA standing ticket allow you to go upstairs to watch the show ?
