New Business openings and closures around you?

Stillorgan needs parking charges., lots of people dumping cars and getting bus to work/UCD. and with all the new apartments across the road. They’ll be using it as a. Visitor car park or there own parking as the apartments won’t have enough parking

I thought it was already paid parking.

Isnt is 2 euros for 2 hours?

They do have guys who walk around and log reg plates.

Indian Spices, Dundrum.

They just opened

Anyone know why McDonalds in Frascati is closed? Passsed it today and it's shut with no indication of a refit, emergency repairs or suggested reopening date.

Frascati website says 'closed until further notice' ... https://frascaticentre.ie/mcdonalds/

There was a bad leak. My guess is that due to the recency of the construction on that whole building, that its probably an ongoing insurance company bun-fight between the contractor, the building owner/operator, and the franchisee.

Shocked at Bella baby. Always packed when passing it. I popped on their socials and the notice was mentioning relocating rather than closing so perhaps moving to another location in the shopping centre or nearby

I disagree with almost entirely everything you've said. I've seen the odd person sitting outside the wicked wolf having a pint, no issues. Can't say I've seen any other side of the road, just plenty of people sitting out enjoying a coffee and chat.

Paths are not clogged, busy at times but that's a sign of success. It's a main street after all. Talking about pigeons and overweight people you're just making up stuff now. Maybe city living isn't for you.

The Blackrock changes are great. They make it actually nice to have a coffee/some food outdoors now, a far cry from before when it was just a street of traffic.

Its being reflected in all the restaurants and cafes opening now too, its becoming a real foodie destination. Its consistently busy too, so most people obviously agree.

They need to get rid of the last few parking spaces along the main street now. That and revamp the waterfront area which is currently the car parks into a more usable mini-park with greenery, seating etc like in those plans that did the rounds a few years ago.

Opening Minds in both Stillorgan and Dun Laoghaire are marked as permanently closed in Google searches. Only noticed this yesterday

Explorium re opening tmrw, junior section (0-7) first,

Glad to hear that.
