From a business point of view they certainly need to do something with the centre. It's just shit - so many cheapo one-off shops as all the good chain names have left. Don't get me wrong - unique shops are great if they aren't just a cheaper version of something we already know and love. The place is pretty much deserted in some parts too. The only reason I ever go into the St Enoch centre is for car parking with a friend. I think I went inside once to go to Boots a few months ago too.

Looks like the car park occupying the east of the centre will be turned into restaurants, bars, residential use and casino assuming planning permission.

Casino? Another one? Great...

Shopping centres, casinos, Massive ubermarkets - just as well there are so many
Glaswegians with disposable incomes, eh?....

This is the economics that we are running on just now... all the big money flowing out elsewhere.

And we think that Scotland could survive independance!!!?????

But there are plenty of Glaswegians willing to spend wads of money the don't have, and plenty of banks happy to lend to them at usurious interest rates.

The first photo is interesting, since the sh*te is distributed
closer to the centre of the pole. Wait till someone tells you
next that bird sh*te is art.... ::):

Crusty. Is that silver part a left over from the construction of the Armadillo :?

Why oh why, is silver the new co-ordination scheme.

I'm all for making Glasgow a nice place and 'doing it up' a wee bit, but fuck me, if that's not just fucking hideous!!!!

Is that the old Clydesdale Bank building on the corner being demolished for that then? Didn't realise the extension was going to creep up to Argyle St like that.

I already have my doubts about the viability of the development at the eastern end of the building - a similar cinema/leisure operation mooted for across the road from there about ten years ago never came to anything...
