Went to spa seafoods today. they don't do calamari so that's a dead end.
Ordered from Lana on the way back and ended up spending 300 next store in Regatta.
All together a good day. I'm going to enjoy living in Kerry

Regatta have some serious bargains.

I had hoped the boy racer thing had died off. Twas massive in the time before the downturn. Recession came late 2008 and it disappeared like a fart in the wind.

I don't think it disappeared unfortunately. I always hear cars doing 'donuts' near where we live. Plenty of evidence of it too on the Killarney/Cork roads etc with all the tyre marks from their donuts.

Eamonn8448 · 26-01-2019 11:37pm

its still only 120mph in my younger days often did alot more, never borthered with donuts only a waste of rubber, young and stupid be young and stupid i guess

Ya I guess. Twould always rear up again during the rally of the lakes.

But seeing swathes of sh@tty civics/starlets/skylines lined up late at night outside horans or revving up and down Castleisland in 1st gear died a rapid death.

Completely. They took the cookie cutter out of town faceless shopping/retail concept and really ran with it. Hopefully some day all retail in the town will close (maybe the council could introduce a flat ten euro per hour parking fee) and everyone can just go to manor.

Rows Grower · 03-02-2019 8:55pm

A fine shopping center in fairness. Big employer too I'd say, I always enjoy shopping in there.

The free parking is par for the course in all out of town shopping centers and they have nearly every other facility too.

First time walking down town on a Sunday in a good while. There was a nice footfall around but well over 60 percent of the shops were closed. Absolute joke

Do people seriously have nothing better to be doing than to go shopping on a Sunday afternoon? For the benefit of those working in retail, I'm glad not all the shops feel the need to open on a Sunday.

Pennys...... yeah.... most businesses have tried the Sunday opening in town... doesn't pay for the electricity, ..you should ask, you might find out all about fiscal reality

Chancer3001 · 04-02-2019 12:59pm

People just go to town for food and drink

Theres not much in town one couldnt get cheaper /easier in manor.

Ciarrai76 · 04-02-2019 1:34pm

I tend to go to Manor on a Sunday, but not more than once a month really. Its not a bad shopping centre, but it could be better. I tend to be in town more often. I think the main shops in town that are open on a Sunday is enough really. A lot of shops are independent retailers and some tend to have the owners or very few staff working in them. They might already work 6 days a week themselves, so I can't blame them for closing on a Sunday. It really doesn't pay all businesses to open if there aren't enough customers.

Ciarrai76 · 05-02-2019 12:45am

So that Woolen Market is opening up in the old Regatta unit on Ashe Street. Apparently they will begin their refit of the unit on Thursday. They say on their Facebook page they will open from 10am-8pm 7 days a week. I can’t imagine why they would open until 8pm 7 days a week. They will find that extremely quiet most evenings.

Fann Linn · 05-02-2019 12:49am

Hi Ciarrai, how long of a walk from the Ashe hotel to the GAA grounds? Will be there on Saturday and don't know whether I'd be better off walking or driving. Thanks.

You are better off walking. You won’t get much parking up around there anyway. As said, only about a 10 minute walk to the grounds from the hotel.

Defo walk. You’ll only end up parking the same distance on the other side of town. Easily 10 minute walk
