    Bobby O'Neill owns that place couple of years ago there was a planned extention to South 51 but he ran out of money perhaps he has the money now as he didn't sell it.

    Lets hope there is some new shops coming, although i hardly ever shopped in 'Blue Mountain', too expensive...

    Is this the new take-away you were on about?? Sounds nice...

    lets hope so vern...never really shopped in blue mountain myself for years...used to yonks and yonks ago but not so much recently...not because of the price but because there wasnt anything i would be bothered buying in there to be honest.

    a couple more shops would be cool indeed !

    Used to go to into Blue Mountain, but there wasnt anything great about it and it was just to dear...
    I think that 'Fat-face' shop in the bull ring is the same...
    Hopefully there will be a few more shops opening...looks really bad with empty shops on the main street.

    BPM is a huge loss to the town, i would spend hours in there!!

    i think fatface is good ... at first i thought it wasnt that great and not much but now i think its cool and some really nice stuff in there... think its reasonably priced as well to be fair .... their clothes are good quality and well made as far as i can see.

    Click=overpriced computer store selling stuff you can get cheaper elsewhere.Anyone with even a modicum of knowledge about computers won't shop there.

    the chocolate box is nice alright .they seem to be doing very well...always sombody in there!


    heard click was coming to town alright but that was ages and ages ago... do you know where they're moving into ? main street or out in one of the centres out by woodies etc ?

    they might be overpriced but id say 1% of the population truly know what they're doing regarding computers, 20% are competent, 10% think they know what their doing and the rest are totally clueless. they'll do well ! :)

    no other pc shop in wexford really where you can buy anything decent so its badly needed!

    About a hundred yards from White's on the main street, just up from the side of the stores.

    Cards are cheap in there.

    excellent stuff... maybe where blue mountain was or the shop beside blue mountain... seen that getting fitted out the last week as well...

    2 new stores there and possibly more... in fairness wexford seems to be attracting business anyway ... we've had some closures but seems those closures are being replaced fairly rapid each time....

    now we just gotta hope somthing opens in the old dunnes stores and tesco sites ! drove past the old tesco the other day... the place needs a good lick of paint ...the only thing there now is fordes restaurant.

    i also found i was put off by the state of south main street over the skyfest... i just didnt want to be up that end of town cause it doesnt seem as nice up that way and the street needs to be done pronto in my opinion. off putting ! dont mean to be rabbiting on about it but it annoys the hell out of me!

    Is there not a doctor's consultants already in McCauley's in Redmond Square?

    Do you know which company took over the building of the county hall by any chance?

    Mccauleys closed their medical centre over a year or more ago...could be 2 or 3 years even.... dont knw what happened but all doctors went back to their own surgeries.

    the council building was just put out to lots of different independant sub-contracters as far as i know and the council themselves are overseeing the whole operation on a daily basis.

    I can see their logic behind them doing it but I don't think it will save them money, probably overrun it if anything.

    I only noticed that the Spanish tapas place on Anne Street was gone on Skyfest night. Pity. I was only there once, but had planned a return visit.

    I avoid the south main street. It has become a no go area if im honest, Alot of teenagers and undesirables hang out outside Mint and the snookerhall, its fairly uncomfortable walking down there. I usually cut down Henrietta Street to walk home.

    But its good to know, as soon as one shop closes, another takes its place.
