    Everyone in Glasgow has heard of the Easdale brothers and their bus empire, McGill's. Sandy and James Easdale are surrounded by fearful rumour - and their supposed billions underpins their power. But do the numbers add up? @LadyCatHT investigates.
    The Easdale brothers want everyone to know they are billionaires. Are they?

    "Glasgow has not lost its capacity to excite. On frosty nights, heading gig-wards along the Gallowgate, the Barrowlands’ fairground dazzle still quickens the pulse." Beautiful writing by @DaniGaravelli1 in our first weekend read.

    🚨Where’s Glasgow’s wealth going?🚨 There’s a perception that Glasgow doesn’t have the economy of, say, neighbouring Edinburgh. But data shows the city is Scotland’s economic engine. Today, we’ve got economic geographer, James Gilmour, to map out where all the money has gone.

    🗞️Midweek read! 🚶‍♀️The upper end of High Street sees hundreds of thousands pass by every year on their way to Glasgow Cathedral. It should be stuffed with independent shops and cafes. Instead traders say they've literally been left to rot. But, by who?
    Glasgow’s oldest street is falling apart. Who’s responsible?

    Doner and shish kebabs used to dominate Glasgow's street food scene. But new waves of migration have changed hearts and palates. Now there's a king in town: the shawarma wrap. @robbiejourno reports from the city's shawarma counters.

    Did you know that after London, Glasgow has the best suburban rail network in the UK? But it's not without its issues. So today we’ve got rail expert @GarethDennis to give us the good, bad, and ugly of the current system – and then redesign it.
