A slight exaggeration perhaps...

Maybe the town is not dead, but it's definitely in bit of trouble.
Having said that, Union Place is one of my favourite shit holes. 
I hope they never 'fix' it. I love the art down here.

Friday night after the gym, with my camera, tripod and solitude....I almost felt okay for a short period of time.

Extras:
Just a few more so you can fully appreciate why I think this alleyway is so cool and well worth thirty minutes of anyone's time when sightseeing in Glasgow.
