Pie Of The Month Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I always seen this place when walking down to the Barras but it seems that it's gone after a fire during the week. The entire row of shops are just gone now. Anyone know the history behind all the Jags stuff painted everywhere? I'm sure there was something on the old forum about it but obviousy it's gone now too.

So sad if it is gone. A chance for some Thistle graffiti artists to claim another area of the town? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eighthoursbehind Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Ridskwerr has a stack of great photos on a photo site IIRC. I don't think he can show those photos in public.

Pie Of The Month Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-12509178 Video of the fire on the BBC website. By the looks of it today it seemed to have spread to the entire block of shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I don't think he can show those photos in public. I told you never to mention "those photos" !! However the ones of Schipka Pass in its best Jaggy days can be found here - My Photos They're (not surprisingly) listed under "Partick Thistle related pictures" at the bottom of the index. I've had to resurrect the gallery and it seems to be dead slow and stop to access the individual pictures, so patience might be required.

Collins Out! Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Does anybody know what happened to the block the Loon Fung and Nice and Sleazy are in? Sauchiehall Street is shut off and the tenement roof is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauchiehall Street is shut off and the tenement roof is gone. Might be to do with a fire there last week. The radio was reporting Sauchiehall St closed off for a while because of a fire.

Jaggernaut Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Does anybody know what happened to the block the Loon Fung and Nice and Sleazy are in? Sauchiehall Street is shut off and the tenement roof is gone. I noticed that too on Saturday as I naively was walking up to Firhill thinking that there might be a game. Also noticed that the Thistle Bar had a "For Sale" sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauchiehall Street is shut off and the tenement roof is gone. Big fire the week before last, I think it started in that Steak and Cherry place. It's made getting a taxi home from town a nightmare last 2 weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
