BUCHANAN STREET
When I was kid growing up in the Cowcaddens I loved to adventure down Buchanan street to see where the posh people shopped. Big huge stores selling expensive items.
Buchanan Street is one of the main shopping thoroughfares in Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland. It forms the central stretch of Glasgow's famous shopping district with a generally more upmarket range of shops than its two neighbours Argyle Street, and Sauchiehall Street.
