Glasgow City Council have quadrupled the rates for shops in
Buchanan St. (where the Survival Shop is no more), to drive out
those kinds of small business and shoe-horn in the likes of Prada
and um Harvey Nichols...to remake it as the second best shopping
experience outside of Oxford Street, acc. to our Lord Provost. The
owners of the Survival Shop are now holed up in a log cabin in
Paisley, armed to the teeth and speed-reading The Turner Diaries,
probably.
What this has to do with poetry...
