      This is the second old photo of a Dublin Street I’ve seen this morning and it’s crazy how much more alive the city looks in the two of them. Not just with people but also with little small businesses, you look around now and every second unit seems to be closed and half the ones that are open are all chains.

      Eye immediately drawn to the gorgeous BMW 2002 on the left. Would pay a lot of money for that today.

      Clothing alterations are probably a dead industry now. The signage looks great in all those businesses.

      My girlfriend (now wife) worked in the Coffee Inn back in 1989. Great Craic. We used to swap trays of coffee with old Mr. Kehoe for trays of creamy pints of stouts in the kitchen.

      That Coffee Inn mention is getting me, my mother used to drag me into places like that when I was small and I’d sit there bored out of my mind while she chatted to the owner for twenty minutes.

      The signage alone tells you everything about what’s gone wrong with our high streets. Every one of those signs looks like someone actually cared, proper lettering done, not the generic vinyl wrap you see on every shop from Cork to Lettekenny now. Half of them don’t even have proper names anymore, just “luxury apartments” or “consultancy suites” where the family businesses used to be.

      And that church in the background with the crane over it, was that the fire restoration work? Fair play to whoever kept it standing because I remeber hearing how badly damaged it was back then.
