September Nights…

An Anonymous fan of Where’s Wally asks: Looking for Wallace Grove Place Glasgow

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, eh? Wait- that’s not relevant. Fortunately the answer to this question’s a bit more straightforward. 

I’ve answered a similar question before related Avon Street, which was nearby. This is another of the streets in Kinning Park which disappeared. It’s now underneath the car park of a small retail park and all of the tenements in the surrounding streets have disappeared too.
