The Evening Citizen, first published in 1877, was the first of three evening newspapers to be printed, published and sold in the Glasgow area of Scotland. In 1889 the Evening Citizen moved to 24 St Vincent Street, located in the city centre, which was one of the first buildings in Glasgow to be made from red sandstone, and was built that same year to accommodate their printing presses and offices. The newspaper was owned by Beaverbrook Newspapers Ltd when they ceased publishing in 1974. They were based in Albion Street, Glasgow, at the time of their closure.
Famous quotes containing the words evening and/or citizen:
“A rat crept softly through the vegetation
Dragging its slimy belly on the bank
While I was fishing in the dull canal
On a winter evening round behind the gashouse
Musing upon the king my brother’s wreck
And on the king my father’s death before him.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“[M]y conception of liberty does not permit an individual citizen or a group of citizens to commit acts of depredation against nature in such a way as to harm their neighbors and especially to harm the future generations of Americans. If many years ago we had had the necessary knowledge, and especially the necessary willingness on the part of the Federal Government, we would have saved a sum, a sum of money which has cost the taxpayers of America two billion dollars.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
