Improving on the little things

    Do you not think that Limerick needs to improve little minor things aswell as the Big Things.
    If you take shannon bridge as an example, i would say it hasn't seen a lick of paint in at least a decade, its gone from a red and cream to a faded pink covered in dust and a cream faded to white that has now been covered so much in dirt and dust it a sort of greyish, black.
    Another thing is the Sign on the entrance to Cruises Street, which is in need of a renovation, some of the letters are missing and it needs a coat of paint.
    Small things like these are the things that people notice.

    Do you not think that if our Limerick is to further itself, and really put itself on teh map we need to forget about the little innocuos things, that we spend too long bickering and worrying over and seeing the bigger picture,
    after all what difference does a petty sign make when you consider the nstate of some of our infratructure?

    Well don't blame me when someone gets an eye taken out by a Letter C when walking down Cruises St.

    As Irish cities go NOT including Dublin I dont think the infrastructure in Limerick is that bad.

    Have to agree slightly with poxyshamock though as for people living in Limerick we do notice the little things and I think more care would inprove people living here impression of the city as a whole.

    I have to agree, personally I would feel a lot better about walking down a road with clean walls as opposed to ones covered in graffiti (I have been known to take a scrubber brush to the local bus shelter when graffiti goes up).

    It is a lot easier to feel proud of an area that looks clean than one that looks run down.

    they need to put more greenery in down there otherwise its going to look a bit desolate over the winter with the white paving stones. they re-paved the city square back home with similar slate stuff and in winter it used to look odd til they put more flower beds in.
    what theyve done is a start anyway..

    It has alot to do with the undesirables hanging outside HMV on Saturdays. Its the first thing you see when you walk up the street and tbh, it marrs the look of the entire street.
    But As a retail 'centre', Im pretty sure it has never been busier. Its a wonder that the shop owners association (assuming that there is one) for the street, doesnt pool together and ensure the place keeps up an attractive look. Especially now since shoppers are now apparently disappearing to the suburbs to the likes of the crescent etc.
