Glasgow

As someone from in between Detroit and Chicago, I’ll always have a soft spot for industrial cities. For me, Glasgow felt like home as soon as I got off the plane. Well, out of the airport: some fellow on his bachelor party tip was having a rough time with his hangover in the airport bathroom.

The city itself is a bit grungy and rough around the edges. That’s why I like it: it leaves behind the sometimes pretentious atmosphere of London and is instead utterly and unapologetically itself.
