Kilkenny shops that are no more

Couple more shops that popped back into my head this week.
The OK House on High Street...what did they actually sell there? I remember they used to sell maps, but what else?
There used to be an arts supply shop on Patrick Street, beside Zuni. Can anyone remember the name? Used to pick up 2HB pencils for school.
Found this pic of High Street too, with O'Carrolls, Whites and Mooneys on the right plus The Monster House. On the left, the sports shop, beside the town hall.
Sorry to be resurrecting an old thread, although it seems to happen a lot with this one anyway, was reading this thread and feeling nostalgic (coming back to Kilkenny for Christmas though, delighted!). The art and craft shop in Patrick Street was Kenneally's. Think it was the same family that produced the two lads from Engine Alley.
Funny reading this thread. There's shops mentioned in the last couple of pages that had opened AFTER the original thread started.
I laughed being reminded of Riddled With Mystic all the same.
Regarding the egg stain on the cinema, there was another supposed culprit who came from the Sycamores/Aylesbury, same lad got an almighty punch in the eye outside the new cinema a couple of years later.
When you think of that cinema it's amazing. You'd arrive nearly an hour beforehand to join a queue, or else end up at the back of a queue nearly to High Street, to get interrogated by the ould wans at the door and maybe even turned away, then go in to sit on a sticky seat and when the film started everyone would start screaming their heads off, often for the first five minutes of the film. Then lads would start shouting conversations at one
another, arranging to meet up after and so on. Unbelievable. Why on earth people put themselves through it...but what else were you going to do?
I remember going to see Die Hard With a Vengeance (I think) on a quiet night with a couple of friends, and after getting in, we went back out to buy some sweets at the counter (error not to have gone to Whyte's or Mooney's first of course), and THEN the ould wans kicked us out, saying we were too young.
So what did we do instead? Went to Hennessy video in Kieran Street and got a much more violent John Woo movie and watched it at home.
I remember with the video stores you'd invariably end up with a couple of fines in one place or another so you'd go rent elsewhere when that happened. I went to the Gogglebox in Irishtown one time and they wanted ten pounds in fines, so I walked out and went to the place on John Street (don't remember what it was called).0 -
Does anyone remember the name of the Indian that was on the lane way behind Whites Pharmacy - Pennyfeather or Pudding Lane.
It was called the Moghul for a while, but what was the original name?
I always wondering why someone didn't turn it in to a nightclub....good location. out of the way....probably a health hazard but sure the same could be same about the field
