    the savoy cinema was an eyesore. even when it was open it wasnt a very nice looking premises.

    i look forward to what ever is being built there

    has anyone seen the work being done on the royal george hotel site. things seem to be moving along nicely.

    also the apartment block beside the park is as good as finnished. there is a chemist opened on the ground floor already. and they dont look half bad either.

    the only thing is though all the new buildings in limerick have been the same colour. white with the bottom half of the building being made of redbrick. has anyone else noticed that.

    Presumably the red brick is to keep in line with all the redbrick Georgian Houses.

    Ah the Savoy bar was great though and Termights. Hopefully the new building will retain that rustic charm of the old but it probably won't and be all gleaming and new. But you can't stop progress I guess.
