Passed Borza's takeaway yesterday evening in the car and noticed it was closed up with some renovation being done on the inside. Does anybody know if they have just closed for a while are have they gone completely? The name is covered up too.

There's a sign saying "Re-opening under new management shortly.." on the window.

''ARE YOU SERIOUS ADVERTISING THIS ITS NO WONDER THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF SLIGO ARE FALLING ROUND THE PLACE MAKING A NU-SENSES OF THEM SELVES AND ITS THE LIKES OF YE THAT ARE TO BLAME !!!!!!!''


People really need to lighten up.

By far my most favourite word if they spelled it like that.
What a hero!

Would be like Tesco not advertising their goods that are on sale.
I wonder if she'll actually barge into Tesco and tell them they aren't allowed promote alcohol offers and give out about how unruly youths are going to destroy the town now a bottle of Mickey Finn's has 2 euro off :pac:

UrbanSea

Aw stop,some people really need to lighten up.

Was walking through Sligo town today. Gutted to see that Tobergal Lane Cafe had closed down. Was only in it a good few months ago. Does anybody know when it closed down?

It's been gone a few months now.
Sligo isn't great for cafes on a Sunday. Source Sligo is now closed Sundays, Cafe Fleur is and as far as I know Pepper Alley is too.
