OT: Does Muff still have the Top filling station, where people would go in and buy the keyrings with Top Muff on them?
I'll not even start on the Muff Diving Club!
Donegal has a big fishing port in Smellybegs, erm, Killybegs.
It has the most northerly Irish point at Malin head
Lots of dodgy roads

Great Beaches. (Fintra, Rossnowlagh, Murvagh, and more)
The people!
Girls with black hair and blue eyes. (not so common once ye leave Eire)
The way people speak. (How about ye?)
The accent.
The Bluestacks.
Me Mammy!
Bundoran.
Too bad you don't want comments about bad things about Donegal!
But, here's goes anyway!
Higher unemployment than the rest of Ireland.
High Housing prices. (at least around Donegal Town).
The county council's planning permission policy or lack of sometimes (see the awful HUGE building where the cinema used to be, and Paddy's back yard).
The blight of white ugly bungalows in some of the most scenic spots.
The rain!
Bundoran!!0 -
Hah! Murvagh is supposed to be a local secret!! Though there is another secret beach not far from it!
As for Bundoran, nah, can't stand the place. Well, apart from the bowling alley and cinema!
House prices in Doonygal Town are expensive compared to Twin Towns or Letterkenny, though that's possibly more to do with the vast amount of construction in the two latter areas.
As for Gruagorm House (Old Cinema), what's wrong with it? Only problem I see is the totally empty ground floor

It a great place to contain all the rowdy Northerners during the Summer (or should I call them East-Northerners?) Just joking.
Bundoran got a grand big beach (with a wonderful riptide).
Honestly, it's not a bad place to spend an hour or two on a nice day.0 -
I can edit my post and call it the Backstrands so none of the tourists will ever find it!byte wrote:Hah! Murvagh is supposed to be a local secret!! Though there is another secret beach not far from it!
A friend of mine was enteraining the sister in Letterkenny a few weeks ago (she lives in Dublin) and she was surprised how much cheaper housing was there compared to Donegal Town (and way cheaper than Dublin but that's not surprising).byte wrote:House prices in Doonygal Town are expensive compared to Twin Towns or Letterkenny, though that's possibly more to do with the vast amount of construction in the two latter areas.
It's just so bland and uninspiring in an ugly way, it doesn't blend with the rest of the street. It's style is totally different from any neighbouring building (and will probably look outdated in about 10 years) and it's height dominates that whole section of the street.byte wrote:As for Gruagorm House (Old Cinema), what's wrong with it?

I think it's a good example of bad urban planning, in that Donegal Town is a rather pretty town and sticking a new modern looking building splat dab in the middle affects the feel and balance of the town. If you look at many of our mainland European neighbours, buildings like this would not be allowed in an older town center. (I will admit that we all have different tastes and this building doesn't inspire me).
Plus, for many of the tourist that visit Ireland, don't come here to look at office buildings. I think a building of a different design and of lesser height (at least on the main street side) would have been a better fit. And I think building like this should have been kept on the outskirts of town, or further from the town center, or grouped with like buildings.
Plus, there are some rumors about the allowable height of the building that I won't talk about here ...
First few times I read that I thought it said "best wreck driving in Ireland"!Peace wrote:Some of the best wreck diving in Ireland. 0 -

As it happens, it doesn't. Leitrim is in between, albeit for about 4 or 5 miles. 0 -
