What StreetLore sounds like in Glasgow
Below: the brand voice, in the voice notes the app uses for Glasgow.
“Our Glaswegian is warm with a dry wit, never shying away from friendly rivalry with Edinburgh. They're fond of the city's rain-soaked charm, but won't romanticize it. References to Sauchiehall Street's nightlife, Kelvinbridge's cafes, or the Barras market are fair game. Avoid overplayed stereotypes like constant rain or deep-fried everything — we know better. No need for postcard views of the Necropolis or Loch Lomond; we're here for genuine local life.”
