Really .....? Tell me, I'm on the edge of my seat here. Good or bad?

My bet is on bad.

"Kehoes" is popular with the traveling community and "Stamps" is supposed to be reopening under new management on Thursday.

Apologies, I left out a KEY word there

No, in all seriousness I thought the town looked good. Yeh all towns could do with more people in the shops etc but I just thought it looked well presented with nice flowers and shrubs and stuff around.

Thanks for info on pubs, I'll steer clear of Kehoes so, and tell me about Stamps, is it ancient inside? (ancient is good in my world !)

"Stamps" was an Old Man's Pub a few years ago but in its last incarnation was just dark and plain. However, great things are expected with new operator. Thursday!

Notice some activity on the first floor of the old ESB office.Did I hear something about Argos moving in there correctly?

Barnardos ground floor, Kick Boxing on 1st floor AFAIK. Stamps was to open tonight at 7pm - trapped with kids so missed out.

Kick boxing on top floor.First floor is empty at the moment.Heard someone say Argos was moving in and there is activity in the place.Maybe not.

Argos in Enniscorthy? Down with that sort of thing,how dare something so progressive appear on the retail landscape of the town!! Would we not be better suited to having another charity shop,discount store or boutique?:pac:

Council should put these where CBS students congregate,the seats on the quay opposite the Bus Stop are like a bomb site after every lunchtime.

St Senan

The old ESB office would be to small for Argos. The perfect building for it would be the old Dunnes Stores, it has plenty of shop space and a big storage area at the back unlike the old ESB office.

Will we have water the colour of urine when water charges come in I wonder?

Speaking of water,hope the pricks that stole equipment from Slaney Search & Rescue depot never need their help.:mad:

What do the shops of Enniscorthy do to entice people into the town on a Sunday, i am a chef in a restaurant in the Square, and we were very busy today, i think the shops are missing a trick by not opening, unless you're eating/drinking in Enniscorthy on a Sunday, there is no other reason why you would visit it.

They actively discourage people by closing.
They're empty during the week in fairness never mind Sundays.

Polish Butcher/Store open at Pigmarket Hill.

The council are clueless...................they decided to close the road at the Vodafone shop today, so you couldn't head down towards the castle.....................You think they put up signs warning motorists it would be closed, not a chance

The council are clueless

Old news...

Cantona's Collars

Ye may all say sorry to the council,it's the contractor that has the stop/go system in place as they narrow the footpath at Stamps.They have signs up in The Square.

I see that now......pity they didn't have it in place this morning instead of just shutting the road off and causing grid lock

They were working on it with jack hammers, diggers and God knows what until after midnight last night. Why is it that everything in Enniscorthy, no matter how insignificant, always ends up a shambles? As for the new pavement on Castle Hill...:rolleyes:

Park benches opposite Petitts are in a disgraceful state - they couldn't possibly be maintained could they.

Moving down to the vibrant shopping area of Slaney Street was a masterstroke.

Cantona's Collars

Was lovely to witness a guy letting his greyhounds empty themselves on a green area at Moran Park the other morning,the missus stopped me from letting down the window to shout at him.Not even the covered area at Pettits is immune from it,had to play a quasi game of hopscotch to avoid the stuff all over the path.:mad:

The scourge of illegal dumping in the town's hinterland continues unabated despite the council & concerned locals best efforts.Even this morning as I brought the young lad to school there was rubbish strewn by the roadside.And as I made my return journey there was a fresh bag deposited on the road.

And inevitably crows and rats rip them apart and it ends up strewn everywhere.
Must be easier to pay for a bin than drive around with bags of rubbish looking for a dumping spot.
