I wonder has that anything to do with Sportsdirect taking over Heatons? An old school type café catering for older customers wouldn't be Sportsdirect's target market of customers.
I went there last year with my mother, the previous time was probably back in 1995. I don't think the menu had changed since but I guess it's appeal was that it was reassuringly familiar to it's clientele. My grandmother religiously went there every Thursday for their roast beef! :-)

They retired according to the owners. They are in their 60's so I would assume they just feel now is the time to do it.

I just heard that Dawson's restaurant in Heatons has closed due to retirement. It was open for 26 years. Best of luck to Nuala.

The comments and results of the recent gold medal from the tidy towns award are now published. Interesting reading actually.

Purple Flag Assessment Pack.

I think the town has a lot of work to do to maintain and constantly improve.

It does, and it needs the people of the town to get behind it, not knock it! It's a good award, not a negative thing. It shows the town is improving slowly but surely.

How does a Town with no night-life get a purple flag?

It's not about just a night life, it's about promoting a town which has good restaurants, pubs and a nice atmosphere.

To quote John Drummy of Tralee chamber Alliance:

"The aim of the Purple Flag is to increase footfall into town centres, lower crime and improve the night time experience. Purple Flag destinations distinguish themselves by being vibrant and well-managed and this achievement will give Tralee a much needed boost".

I was just about to post the same. Between this and the library I think we can take the title of 'stab city' off Limerick.....compensation for the All-Ireland?

Somehow I don't think we're quite there yet. Limerick has so many stabbings most aren't even reported in their news.

It's a pity the weather was so bad today for the food festival. The cooking demos had to be cancelled. Last year was a beautiful day for it so it's a shame it was a bit of a wash out.
There was a lot of people around this evening though. I went into town around 7.30 to pick up a take away from Quinlans and it was impossible to get parked! Good to see it so busy around.

Double header of matches on in Austin Stack Park might be one of the reasons the place was busy

Plenty to do in Tralee this weekend between Culture night and the Food festival. http://traleetoday.ie/seven-things-weekend-around-tralee/

I went down to the 'concert' in the Square last night and God but it was awful stuff. They had a singer who sounded as if she was strangling a cat then a guy just doing this boom box thing into the Mic for 10 minutes.....absolute drivel. I then went to the County Museum which is at least worthy of the name.

New baby classes starting in Tralee in October..

Interesting story in yesterday's Kerryman re the guy in Atlas House getting a taxi from Tralee to Sligo to attend Court only to stiff the taxi driver for the alleged €500 agreed fare. The taxi driver is named and I bet everyone reading it is going to be saying to themselves how the feck did her ever agree to take that fare without being shown the readies in advance! The guy was brought to Court in Sligo on the matter, told the Court he would pay but the following day opted for a Jury trial in the District Court in the case (literally never happens in the District Court) presumably in the hope that the taxi driver would not turn up to give evidence and be down the costs of attending.

There is FREE entry into the County Museum this Friday, 22nd Sept, from 6pm - 10pm, for Culture night.

I recently changed ISP, would that have anything to do with it?

This seems to work.... perhaps a hosted website won't be continued if it's not economically feasible

And no doubt those apartments in Oakpark will rent very quickly seeing as there is so little available to rent at the moment.

The very minimum a house goes for these days is 750...most agents are looking for 900-1200 a month for a decent house...2 bed appartments in Edward court go for 750 ... sometimes 50-100 more ....the appartments facing onto the river (beside the cinema) are about 1100....prices are crazy at the moment.....

By the by...a certain estate agent has taken on 2 properties and sold both inside a fortnight... Mannix's centra is one...won't mention the other.... but the buyer is interesting

MHR no doubt!
