It’s definitely a kind of grief…
There’s a quiet heaviness in Glasgow today. After the fire in the city centre last night, many people are waking up with a strange sense of loss that’s hard to explain. It isn’t only about damaged buildings — it’s about the everyday places that quietly shape our lives. The café you always passed, the shop you popped into, the salon where someone knew your name. When spaces like these disappear overnight, it can feel as though a small part of the city’s story — and our own routines — has been taken with them. That’s why so many people in Glasgow are feeling a little flat today. The good news is that the heart of a city isn’t just its buildings. It’s the people, the connections, and the community that will slowly help it find its rhythm again.
