Galway, City of...

Iwannahurl · 2011-09-02 07:52:23

Galway has for a very long time had the moniker "City of Tribes", a proud reference to the fourteen merchant families who ruled the city in mediaeval times. What other nicknames might be suitable? City of Traffic Jams? City of Roundabouts? City of Traffic Lights? City of Stag Nights and Hen Parties?
