Glasgow Mini Tour part 1

Tay House. This is actually the "Bridge To Nowhere", built during the construction of the M8 in the 1970's. It was intended to be a platform for a restaurant overlooking the motorway(yes, i know......quite hellish). When the M8 through Glasgow kind of failed to live up to it's utopian remit, I guess they just decided that such a proposal was a little inappropriate. It lay unused for ages until they built some offices on it. Charles Bukowski & friend. A rather fine, if slightly alarming portrait in Chinaski's Bar, Charing Cross, Glasgow. Kelvinbridge underground station. That's my train...................
