dublin's golden era

[Norman Bates]

02:00 8/3/1966 was a golden moment.

Hopefully eh

Ah come on, be a bit optimistic.

Love the avatar by the way!

Then another thought struck me and scared me... was that it....has it gone was the Celtic tiger Dublin golden era, Dublin at its most magical.
And now its gone

You are probably right. Though I stopped going to Dublin around then. It became a foreign country.

Maybe we're livingin the golden era. We are finally multi-cultural and the vast majority of us are happy to see Dublin become such a cosmopiltan city. Maybe when we get out of this recession we'll have more perspective and truly enjoy being a modern city with superb facilities although the transport system still needs serious work.

;We are finally multi-cultural.....

You make that sound as a achievement, an end in it's own right.

I don't have a probelm with that aspect of modern Dublin. However, Dublin in the 70's and 80's was not a dull and boring place.

There is a horrible place called Dail Eireann there that drags the tone of the whole city down, other than that its fine

The Kestrel pub in the video isn't even a shadow of what it used to be and has just reopened after being closed up for a year.

I think I'm forever going to carry with me the terrifying thought that Dublin's finest ever moment may have happened around teatime one late June afternoon near the end of the 20th Century on the Walkinstown Roundabout.

The Walkinstown Roundabout is indeed a Magical Place!

I'm 26 so obviously I wouldn't have known Dublin prior to the 90s;I have to say that Dublins golden era was 1990s to present tbh, that's when the city was transformed from being a total backwater kip to being a somewhat decent world-class city.
