Born in Govan.
Moved around a lot. Now in the Butney, which is the birthplace of Australians!
Botany Timeline:
1790's
Cottages built to accommodate textile workers first made up the estate known as the Botany. The area's name, which included Whitelaw Street, Cowal Street, Lochgilp Street and Glencloy Street, derived from the convicts who were shipped to Australia's Botany Bay from the Forth and Clyde canal adjacent to the estate.

Norwich city centre, including the castle which sits on a hill overlooking the city and is now a very good museum. In the foreground is Norwich market.
As a kid, I would play truant from school and hitchhike to Norwich. A bag of chips on on the market, a mooch around the museum and the city. Not a care in the world.

Mine would have to be Lincoln Cathedral, it is huge and can be seen from near enough every point in Lincoln, it was the tallest building in the world for 238 years between 1311 and 1549, when the center spire blew down lol and it was always a great sight when you was driving back to Lincoln because when you see it on the horizon you know you are nearly home!

Good thread.
Marin Headlands and the Golden Gate Bridge. Took the family hiking out here on the last weekend of October. The old house is just up from Baker Beach, above the little cove west of the bridge and directly across the entrance to San Francisco Bay from where we were in the video. Don't laugh at my car, my girl chose it before she got her latest. At least I can park it in the city without too much hassle and I use public transit when I work anyways.

That's like, your opinion, man.

A pic of old hotel where we used to camp its vicinity and ghost hunt most weekends. Very close to where our house is.
Later on became a place where we performed fraternity initiation rites back in university days.
Here is the history
In 1911, the Dominican Order made plans for the construction of a vacation house on top of the Dominican Hill. Construction is said to have started in 1913 and was supervised by a priest. Since there would be no taxes to pay, Catholic school was opened in June 1915 but was closed after two years because of lack of students. The building was then reverted to its original purpose, as a vacation house and as a sanatorium. During World War II, the people fleeing from the Japanese sought refuge within its walls. The Japanese bombed the building and its surroundings. It underwent a reconstruction in 1947 and was finished a year after.
In 1973 the old convent was remodeled into a 33-bedroom hotel. Managed by a Filipino faith healer where he performed surgeries using bear hands to his conscious patient leaving no trace of incision. I guess lots of voodoo stuff happened back then. The hotel closed down when the faith healer died of cerebral hemorrhage in 1982. It was declared off-limits to visitors. However, curious sightseers still managed to get into the building.
Up to this date the Hotel is still there. Frequently visited by tourist from other parts of of Philippines. You can’t see kids going up there anymore as they are all busy with their iPads.
