    Just kinda curious about this now, and wondering if there's any more examples of Art Deco in Galway? For example, The Savoy on Eglinton Street, or the old McDonagh building on Merchant's Road, or Silke's Cash & Carry on Sea Road.

    Any pictures would be great too ;)

    Speaking of, Batman the Animated Series was absolutely dripping in art deco style, right down to those amazing art deco title cards that preceded every episode.
