stephens green refurb at last

But if you can see the walkways from the streets, then you can see the streets from the walkways. When inside the green, I’d rather not see the streets.

And can anybody really miss it?? It’s huge, tree coloured, with open gates.

Jesus Kenny, when you think Less is More, you should be thinking about your posts, not the wonderful foliage that makes the green the oasis it is in the centre of the city.

can’t beet the green on horseback!

Although the Stephen’s Green complex is anachronistic….It does however have a rather quirkey and odd charm…..like the Brighton Pavillion in England etc…. The proposed plan is to replace the exterior over ornate metal work with glass……..I’m all for slick shiny futurist glass ….(especiallly down the docks one could run wild with all sorts of super designs, but alas it is not the case…Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) but maybe the Stephen Green complex should be left as it is….a kinda quirky and odd extragance adding a bit of charm……just like some characters one may meet in Dublin itself.

ooooooooohhhhhh

I thought you meant the Green, as in the actual “park” as opposed to the shopping centre.

I have no real opinion on the shopping centre. If they want to do something to try and get even more business, then that’s fine by them, but the idea of making the whole thing see-through sounds like they’re jumping on the “see-through” ship (nice as it is). The flip side is that they’ll probably just have to jump on a different ship in another fifteen years.

Cut the homo Frankie Howerd innuendos!

Please dont associate ME with the green !(well at least not the shopping centre aneyhoo)
Jayz that cladding….. i hear the riverboat song everytime i pass it by …. and i dont like the riverboat song…. never mind the look of the cladding.
Thing is now i’ve kinda gotten used to it …. like you’d get used to having a wart on the back of your hand, (if you know what i mean ?).

they can reclad ‘the green’ (i assumed it was the park as well, and wondered why this topic was making absolutely no sense) ’till the cows (or the horses for that matter) come home. but it will do little to improve the complete lack of space, and greenhouse effct within.

“Cut the homo Frankie Howerd innuendos!”

What??? Should I be offended, or is that just a bad joke in bad taste.
