Nope, I was born in Chicago, a city I left at the advanced age of 4. I have visited both cities and I just felt that the area around the Glasgow station is pretty grotty, but then I haven't been there recently. Maybe all has changed for the better -- the center of Brum, which was terrible 20 years ago, is now much improved, so it can happen.
