Where Did You Hang Out As A Teen?

There was probably many places for us all but one would always stand out as the place you spent most time in after school or at the weekends.

For me it was Dundrum Bowl (now gone and part of Dundrum Town Centre) mostly playing Out Run and eyeing up Spanish students.

You?

Parks, graveyards, chippers, alleyways.

FatherLen · 27-02-2012 08:03PM

certainly wasn't just standing outside of a shop for hours on end like teens now.

The end of my right hand.

White rock beach, kilbogget park or carriglea (where DLIADT is now). We had a swing in carriglea with two seats (branches!) and one of my friends ended up in hospital with bad concussion after I jumped too early and knocked her out of the tree. Oops!

Stillorgan leisureplex was in there too, was south dublin schools bowling champ in around 95!!

Ah Q's! We had the jingles that were played by the gambling machines memorised! 70's funk bringing sunshine to that godless place! :P

Wasn't allowed to loiter around public places in my youth. The closest I ever got to it was during my summer holidays, where we'd spend all day sitting on the wall by the beach.

Over at the local petrol station. I remember the old bags working in there used to tell us not to hang around outside. One night we weren't there and they got robbed and the next time we were over there we got "Where were ye last night, we wouldn't have been robbed if ye were here" :rolleyes:

On Saturdays it was off into town for a look around, home to listen to the second half of the Premiership games on 5 Live

'Hang out as a teen' sounds a bit Groovy Guidance Counselor doesn't it.

EdenHazard · 27-02-2012 08:21PM

Just around the estate, funnest times were when if your parents found out you went around the block you'd be in trouble. Good times but those days are gone.

Where's Morgan these days, I'd be very interested in hearing from him in this thread.

We had a huge football field near us, we hung there, or up in the "wildo"

Would you prefer if I changed the title to 'loiter as an adolescent'?

If ye see a girl walk past Chartbusters with black and white umbro football gear, give us a wave!

I used to hang out in a youth cafe after school. It was a great facility, kept us out of trouble for the most part.

"The Hall", local church, and the phonebox.

haha, I'm only down that way every now and then to make sure the folks haven't forgotten me and empty out the bar in Quinlans. :P

We had loads of fields infront of the house many a nice roaring fire there, also there was the PNT where we lashed golfballs down the football pitch and swimming in the wildo come summer.
