Favourite Street in Dublin?

copacetic

Whats your fav Dublin Street?
I like Wexford Street, it's got a bit of everything, pubs, cafes, street sellers, gym, some quirky shops etc etc. Not too up itself either. Needs a bit of work at the top on the west side, but a quality street if you will.

Too many for a poll but lets have some opinions.

I'm calling the mods who are also culchie's culchie mods. Its pretty self explanatory i would have thought.

A whole 15 minutes and our country cousins haven't moved it to the Jackine forum :eek:

Biko and co are getting slow, or perhaps they now approve of us Dubs using AH to talk about "town".

Not a street as such, but I like the Ha'penny Bridge. It's got character.

Meh, you think Dubs care?

Anyone from outside the city limits is a culchie, simple as that.

It's also nice that this annoys them.

i dunno, but the likes of dawson street manages it. It's all airs and graces..

Can we use Avenues? Or Roads? Does it have to be a street? City Centre or Suburbs?

Dyr

Mount street is literally up itself..lower and upper run parallel to each other

Yeah, and i prefer the term "husky" but it doesnt change the fact that I'm a tubby little f****r.

Annways the other alternative to culchie is spud gobblin-bog hoppin-muck warriors and that's just a mouthful.

The Crescent in Clontarf is a cool street.

It's where Dracula used to live.:cool:

The Hill Billy

I prefer Camden Street - It is even less up its own arsé than Wexford Street.

Corruptedmorals

Wicklow Street.

Hail 2 Da Chimp

I like the one with all the hobo's on it....

do any of you guys even know the definition of culchie???

For those that don't:
Culchie = a person living outside the Pale who possesses a very low IQ.

I have seen Jacks calling Masters and PHD grads from Wicklow and Kildare "culchies" :rolleyes:

Getting back to the question at hand, Sackville street anyone :eek:

Everyone from outside the pale has a low IQ though.

So yeah, your definition holds up I suppose.

stovelid

Fishamble street.

Johnson's court

Orlee

I used to love Dundrum Main street til it got ruined by the Dundrum Town Centre

Many a time I'd take a wander up and then end up at Crazy Prices to wonder at all the secret items hidden in boxes Them were the days!!!

Other than that? I love Johnson Court - It's that tiny little road the leads from Grafton Street to Powerscourt centre and has all the jewelers along it

I almost forgot.

Holles Street.

I was born there

muckwarrior

I take it as a compliment when I'm called a culchie or whatever. Simply because it implies i'm not a dub.

Coke St.

Fellatio Terrace.

Sam Vimes

Yore ma's road. I'm disappointed in all of you because i had to step in ON PAGE 3 to do that. Hang your heads in shame

It's "Coke Lane" - bottom of Smithfield... Presume "Fellatio Terrace" is an attempt at humour...

Back on topic -

Foster Place beside Bank of Ireland, College Green, could be great - it's one of my favourites. Shame that BoI have closed the Arts Centre there

fakearms123

Lynibeth

Leeson's st.

Pale, outside the Pale.

Dawson st. for me thanks.

missmatty

Wexford & Camden Street ftw, I remember when there was nothing much going on there at all.

So if you've lived in Dublin for yonks and have 2 higher degrees are you still a culchie, is there a cut-0ff point or are you doomed by birth?

Tar.Aldarion

I like the one with cobbles.
