About Glasgow

Now, “The Gleaners” pops in my head—“I pick up what others leave.” That’s her, right? She’s gleanin’ somethin’ outta this messed-up world. I’m fascinated! Didja know, back in the ‘90s, Times Square was crawlin’ with hookers? True story—cops called it the “meat market.” Wild, huh? Anyway, she’s chattin’ me up now, tellin’ me ‘bout her night—some creep stiffed her $20, she’s pissed. I’m noddin’, thinkin’, “This is gold, pure gold.” Pretty, pretty good convo, if I say so myself.

Hampden Road's racy past

The hotels used (many years ago) to be a haven for prostitutes. Things may have changed now, but it is still not easy to get to Ally Pally from.

Then, I decide to hit up the local record shop, Flashback. Man, that place is a treasure trove! I’m diggin’ through the vinyls, and I find this old Led Zeppelin album. My heart skips a beat! I’m like, “Yes! This is it!” But then, I check the price. £30! Are you kidding me? I could buy a whole meal for that!
