And they certainly capture something of the combative vibe you could find there. But what they don’t include is the owner himself. The […]

We ♥ our building

A great picture of the original Grosvenor cinema in my old stomping ground in Glasgow. There’s still a cinema on this site, but it’s a ghost of its former self. Nearby was The Grosvenor Cafe, an old Italian greasy spoon where you could get a cup of tea with a digestive biscuit. Belle & Sebastian […]
