Still strange to think I was stood across from that building Saturday night waiting on a taxi and after seeing it almost everyday it is no longer there.

I think this will be a litmus test of how Glasgow and Scotland’s political leaders really conceive of the city and the nation in terms of the value of its heritage, its built environment and future potential. Swinney’s talking a good game this week about government assistance, and we know it *can* be done - the building housing the Tesco over the road was gutted in the 80s and reinstated in 2 years. Whether it will actually be done remains to be seen. Sadly like you I’m sceptical.
