Foster Place

It always reminded me of Paris – something very beautiful about it – without the cars of course.

I think it might be more of a taxi rest than a rank -seems a bit stupid to have two ranks opposite each other.

Does anyone agree that Foster place is a wasted opportunity given that its a taxi rank directly opposite the other taxi rank !!!!:mad:

One of the things that makes Foster Place so special is the fact that it cannot be walked through on the way to another point in the city. It always has a myserious air about it which almost defines it as a place. Sometimes I think it is better to look at parts of our city for what they are rather than think about what they could be.

I think TCD was so crazy to sell 5 and 6 Foster Place – wierd, property contiguous with the college, universities never, never, never sell contiguous propery, and along with the old bank it gave them significant frontage onto the place, they could have made it really special.
