h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I went out for a drink last night in Glasgow's pleasant but slightly too-trendy Ashton Lane. After leaving the pub (having got my bag back, which I'd foolishly left at a friend's last Saturday ) I noticed something was "wrong". There was building-site barriers erected across the road and the half-ruined shell of a massive building.

It suddenly occurred to me that it was the old Grosvenor Cinema. The facade had been removed and the large interior was exposed and had plainly been gutted. I couldn't see anything left that was recognisable as the cinema.

I saw a whole bunch of films there since I moved to Glasgow and have loads of memories of standing around outside it, waiting for someone to turn up and reading all the film posters. It closed down for "refurbishment" what feels like an age ago and I'd forgotten to even check if it had ever re-opened. Now it seems to be gone for good.
