Dublin N & S

Volvoboy

Dublin is a big-ish place so i many of us could be forgiven if we dont know all of the areas in dublin,

I was on the southside on saturday looking at a few motors and i shocked me to see how vast the southside was and how nice it was too, so howmany of us can say that they know the city and suburbs like the back of their hand?

You've left out the West side, which is probably bigger than either the North or South at this stage!

I know the southside along the coast, town, and a bit inland from the coast. Sin é

I know my way around the Southside fairly well, know a few areas on the Northside but not well enough to say that I know it "like the back of my hand".

Yeh i'd be the same as rb_ie. Know the southside fairly well. Wouldnt know the westside at all, know some of the northside

I know both sides of the city pretty well. There are more people on the North side, yet more facilities on the South (hospitals etc). The only thing that the South doesn't have is an airport. There is a definite "panache" about the South side. Compare for example the Ilac with the Stephens Green Centre. I am not saying one is better than the other, but the politicians and planners seem to think one is.......

City centre, An Lar, is North side, the Pres Res also, Bertie's house too....

grew up northside and know it really well, went to college and have worked and lived in various southside areas for last 12 years so know it really well too..
only thing that tends to catch me out is going back to an area you know well and all of a sudden buildings are gone and a one way system has appeared out of nowhere.

oops I'm sorry I clicked the wrong answer!! I live in the South Side and only know the areas around UCD.. which is very little tbh!! :eek:

I know all of the northside very well. I'm a bit hazy about some of the southside (the further west I go the more likely I am to be somewhat confused) but I could find my way about it after a fashion.

I'm from the North-East side of Dublin and I'm very familiar with coastal areas on both North and South sides but if you were ever to drop me into the North-West or South-West sides of the city I'd probably get lost.

What's even more scarier is that Dublin is a small city! :eek:

Dave!

I was actually gonna make a thread on this a while ago

I'm from the SW, and I know the South side of the city well enough, and some of the suburbs (Tallaght, Templeogue, Terenure, mainly); and I know the area around O'Connell Street decently, but none of the suburbs, no.

I'd be similar being from the north-east tbh. I'd know the south-west a bit better (since I've lived in south west - inside canal for the last 12 years!) - but there's still miles of madness beyond that that just leave me confused and disorientated! North-west - well you can just forget most of that - I'd just be completely lost - best I could do would be to find maybe Santry or Castleknock. Swords is like a word a keep hearing?!
