| Comment | Personally I think the west end is one of the best city districts in the whole of the UK. People moan about “wankers” there but secretly they love that Glasgow has a sizeable area like that. Just got a Michelin Star too yesterday and there’s a great contrast between the “hipness” in Finnieston, the traditional poshness of Hyndland and the mix of grit and gentrification in Partick.
“South side wanker” is fast becoming a thing also as the slightly younger mob tend to head there for their flat whites nowadays. When the world goes back to normal it’s worth taking a trip there to see a different take on what the west end has. I preferred living out that way even though it has slightly less going on.
There’s huge investment in the city centre as well, but he warned that some parts have declined badly in recent years. A couple of huge fires ruined Sauchiehall St and austerity, covid and the decline of retail have caused issues elsewhere. It’s all swings and roundabouts though and will come back I’m sure. |
