    i went to ireland in 07, never got a chance to visit limerick... i'm set to move there with my fiance in december and i was told that limerick city was $hitty place... after seeing these pictures i am so excited to move there! it is so much more beautiful than anyone had described it! thank you so much for posting :D

    Limerick city is very much a dark horse in Ireland, , a hidden gem almost as Most people from outside the city give it a bad rep but in actual fact if you visit the place you will see its a great place to stay!

    ps id also recommend looking at the images from Limerick thread too for better pice :D

    yes, i did look at those pictures... amazing! i loved this one because i was actually able to see the house and neighborhood that i will be living in.
    when my fiance and i first started talking about moving in together he said "i swear, limerick isn't as bad as they say!" i had never heard anything about limerick so i started doing research and found pictures of dirty rivers, burning cars and articles about "stab city" so you can imagine why i wasn't excited before this :p

    but now that i've seen the google maps and the limerick picture thread i can just be excited to move over there instead of worry about how dangerous or unattractive the city is. :D

    although, i will miss the beaches here in south florida... any idea how long a drive from limerick city to bray? i fell in love with the beach i went to there :pac:

    You're talking about 2.5 to 3 hours up the motorway to bray, but there's many beaches within an hours drive of Limerick.... Lahinch, Kilkee, Fanore, Ballybunion, Lahinch is probably my favourite beach in the country. Love heading up there.

    well once i get up there i will have to check the others out... but the main question is... which is warmest? i didn't get to go swimming when i was in ireland cause the water was too cold for my taste, i like water to be warmer than 21 c

    Try the beach in Lahinch during Winter so. I spoke to a girl working in the Cafe there who is from California.

    Lahinch:

    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=lahinch+clare&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=41.546728,93.076172&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Lehinch,+County+Clare,+Ireland&z=15&layer=c&cbll=52.933392,-9.347602&panoid=oOSrfod5bFVCt2cMKyWuBA&cbp=12,182.11,,0,4.15

    She is in for a big shock when the Winter sets in. I was delivering once and couldnt walk across the road because of the wind.

    Now, frankly, if you want to parade around in your bikini then I doubt anybody here, other than "stupidusername" is going to object. She has her eyes on another boardsie in here. :D

    I suppose this should be in the tipperary forum (:pac:) but I found my house on street view, and it looks gorgeous! The whole lot of my village looks lovely, almost making me want to be here. . . but not.

    lol! looking for me? you won't find me unless google made an ocean view... i should be on the sand bar near elliot key

    Just had a look and I reckon the shot of my place is about 16-18 months old.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,477 ✭✭✭grenache


    Yes the shots are 18 months old. They were taken roughly around May 09. I know this for two reasons. Firstly my place of work has a promotion poster on the window that ran during last summer and also i have a Limerick GAA car flag on my car - it could only be summer.

    you can clearly see a couch inside my sitting room window on it

    It's hit the news that Google has censored Limerick - http://www.limerickleader.ie/news/Google-comes-under-fire-as.6565468.jp

    "Google - whose photographers were in Limerick 14 months ago using 360-degree cameras to take the images - has said the areas were left out 'for operational reasons'".


    Is it poor form? Are the operational reasons that they are afraid that the car might get stolen? Is it a good thing that Limerick's reknowned areas are left off such a service?

    🤪

    +1. They must be rolling in the aisles in the Google offices at the Irishman who complained his couch could be seen.

    Seriously though, EurasianBadger, are you winding us up? :confused:
