    I just say across from Lawlors. Depends on where you live I suppose. I'd call One New Row the top of the town, as its all uphill from monread.

    Having grown up on the Main Street I'd deffo say it's at the bottom of the town. Murtagh's corner (1 New Row) is at the top cause it's the highest point of the street and Hayden's is at the bottom of the hill. The town being on a hill with the Town Hall on the mid point of the hill. Make sense? I agree regarding the North and South main street, though growing up I never really knew that the bottom of the town was the north which is up! Everyone always refered to that end of town as down town.

    Hayden's is at the bottom of the town, Murtagh's Corner is at the top. Despite that, Hayden's is at the north end of North Main Street and Murtagh's (One New Row) is at the south end of South Main Street.

    Simples.

    (And you're right - St. Stephen's Green is at the top of Grafton Street (although also at the south end!) Just to add to that, in Dublin, the "Upper" and "Lower" bits of street names refer to their closeness to the river (i.e. Upper end is further away from the river and therefore higher, etc...).

    That tallies with my thoughts alright.

    Interesting bit of info about the upper/lower street names. I'll shoehorn that into a conversation at the weekend like it's the most obvious thing in the world. :)

    I was thinking of heading into Naas this evening for culture night - any advice about where to park near the Main street (around 4:30)?

    Best bet Park at the Ballymore Rd at the Lake beside the Naas General Hospital

    1min from top of main street

    Pretty sure I noticed as I drove past they've reopened in the shop unit beside them - not the original unit.

    Oh no.. so they're fairly settled there then.... What does it take to get them moved on these days (recalling years ago local residents used to march to the sites with Guards and local Councillors until they left!)
    Strange that the boulders have been shifted almost "inviting" them in

    They're fairly adapt at moving boulders themselves and the large cement 'lego' blocks. They moved them in Sallins a few times.

    Folks,

    Recently bought in Naas and the house has a few leaky windows and front door is not sealing at all. Munster Joinery job originally so you'll know the standard...:mad::mad:

    Can anyone recommend a good window fitter in the Naas area that will readjust hinges/locks and seals?

    Thanks!

    You could hire a machine for an hour or two and move them yourself.

    Haven Hire on the Monread Rd for one, there are probably others.

    I've used KWindows for similar maintenance work and was happy with the outcome. They have an office near Kavanaghs

    Apartments and shops I heard. Its the old Gogarty's site. The last of the sisters died there recently. Very sad really. It'll be good to see something being done with the site though.

    Good to see a new coffee and tea shop opened in St. David's house beside the old cinema. Great choice of coffee which I sampled this morning but lots of teas on display too. I really want to get away from the tasteless capsules.

    A new Chinese called Mr Lin's appears to be open upstairs beside the post office. Got the menu in yesterday. Will try it tonight.

    Not generally a fan of the Chinese's in Naas so fingers crossed.
