| Comment | Wanting to boost this- I only moved to Glasgow last year, I’m not living in Govanhill but one of the adjacent areas. Victoria road is a great place, has a few of my favorite pubs in the city plus loads of great food and shops- plus it’s only about 3 blocks from all the other great restaurants and pubs on Pollokshaws. It already has hints of gentrification as there’s some fancy bakeries and coffee shops and such popping up all over. It’s right next to Queens park.
I moved here from NYC and have lived in a couple other large cities. If you are used to living in a city at all I don’t think Govanhill will phase you. There’s a couple streets to be careful about, sure, but overall nothing crazy.
The way people are talking in this thread makes it sound like some war torn hellhole where you’re liable to be murdered at any moment which to me seems ridiculous. You have to wonder if racism plays a role |
