O'Connell Street

it’s funny, everyone in dublin actually hates the spire. it’s a big joke to them. i loved ireland, it’s beautiful, but i actauly liked the outlying small towns BETTER than dublin.

Not much to see or do actually on O’Connell but some of the old regal buildings still stand on the wide grand street. Wish I could have seen it with all the old trees, still with bullet holes from the 1916 revolution against the British (among other wars I’m sure) but I understand they were taken down when the put in the damn Spire and apparently tidied up the place.

It’s full of McDonald’s and other fast food crap, a movie theater, a bunch of small convenience store type shops- not very interesting to culturual stuff. But the original post office is there and the main bus office. Those are handy to know about.

Old Post Office. Plus, you can see the “stiffy on the liffy”.
