Limerick Businesses Opening

RhubarbCrumble

Smiggle is basically the Claire's Accessories of stationery. An eight year old girls idea of heaven as opposed to an actual stationery shop.

Please excuse me if this is not the most suitable forum but I'm at my wits' end trying to find a company or anyone to carry out a basic job which involves fitting 6 metres of handrail up my sloping driveway before the frost and ice arrives. 3 people came ,measured and promised quotations but didn't get back. Does my head in but that's Irish business.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like it has. I had breakfast there about two weeks ago and liked it and had planned to go back. I went there twice over the last week or so and it was closed both times. It's a shame it went so quickly if indeed it has.

Brunch on Upper William street is being gutted. I passed it today. Someone is smart enough to get in there in time for the new court house opening.

I work on Upper William Street and the whole area is getting so busy the last few months. A café would do so well up that part of town as Mace is cleaning up there at lunch/break times.

They really are going to have to do something about the traffic going up William Street though. There is a significant amount of pedestrians using this area already and this will only increase with the new courthouse. The two lanes of traffic mowing through this very busy pedestrian thoroughfare really makes the whole area very unpleasant.

There's a lot more than the traffic which makes that whole area very unpleasant.

How long has Remix in Arthurs quay been closed? Haven't been in there for a while but used to buy a lot of clothes there when they were in beside Guineys.

About 2 weeks.

Well, it will only get worse if they close O’Connell Street to traffic. :pac:

You mean one lane of traffic and one lane of additional parking of course. Ah, the stressfree slalom up William street. A joy.

Maybe they should look at pedestrianising William Street altogether.

They f**ked it up the first time they overhauled it. I wouldn’t trust them again.

zulutango

They did such a ****ty job alright, but that's what happens when you don't have inhouse expertise and the key decisions are made by people who aren't qualified to make them.

Sure isn't William St half pedestrianised already with the amount of dopey bastards who blindly stroll out across the road?

Purposefully stroll across the road and give daggers to those driving.

The council are breeding jaywalking into us. Prime example is Penney's to McDonald's. Illegal crossing point by road traffic laws but the council put it there less than 50mtrs in either direction from 2 other legal and safe crossing points.

One of the things I love about working on Upper William Street is the mix of characters I get to see every day. There are people from all walks of life. Busy professionals, families out doing their shopping, students heading up to LCFE, locals and just about every sort you can find in a bustling town You get to know them all too when you pass by every day. I'm on a first name basis now with the smokers outside The Corner House and TC's after walking past so much :pac:

The whole area is built around cars not pedestrians so it is understandable that pedestrians get very frustrated when navigating this area. The junction of High St and William St is a particular issue. There are high volumes of pedestrians using this junction and the pedestrian lights stay on for a very short amount of time in comparison to the time cars are allowed through these lights. The pavements are also quite narrow especially all along High st and down by Mother Macs, so much so that I have been forced to walk on the road with some of my wheelchair user friends when in this area.

I despise passing McDonalds there with the clowns who think the little food court area by Penneys gives them free reign to blindly stroll over to Cruises street, even while traffic has a green light and is attempting to move. They won't wake up until someone eventually gets put under wheels there.

Construction has begun on the new Audi showroom at City East retail park beside Conlon's BMW

Also, everyone's favourite newpaper is reporting that Bourke's pub on Catherine Street will be re-opening after being taken on by an existing city publican.

Saw the machines at the Audi place all right. Costa has planning to go into the BWM site as well somewhere...

I read about Bourkes. They report it's all hush hush. Fvck sake the ink isn't even dry on the contracts which aren't even complete.

So long as they don't bring back the day drinkers then the place might be attractive to the area. It was a nice bar, at least the general idea of it with it's nice warm fire, but needs a lot of work.

There was a good bit of activity down at the old Polish shop beside Arthurs Quay Park this evening. It looks to be reopening under a different name

sioda

Enable Ireland are going in there

Poxyshamrock

If Limerick was really booming (I don’t think it is, imho), the likes of that building would be long demolished. Instead it’s going to be home to the city’s newest charity shop? Can’t believe that whole Liddy Street block is still there.

I see Bentleys Bar has a sold sign on it and guys working in the basement of it late enough last night is it opening for christmas or has a bar again

bigpink
