    A parte tutte le battute, quale vera città irlandese si adatta meglio a questa mappa stereotipata?

      Dublin with the Northside at the bottom and the south side at the top.

      Everyone is going to think the city that they’re most familiar with

      Dublin.

      Cork maybe in a few years if that Docklands goes through a similar transformation. Finbar’s fits the Cathedral, the Red Abbey the tower, that dystopian block housing would’ve mapped to the old [Tax Office](https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-40172361.html). Hipster home and ethnic food is surely the Marina Market (albeit hipsters are kinda gone now).

      Cork isn’t far off but you’d have to swap the bridges over. And of course do the river twice over.

      None of them really tbh

      Continental cities tend to be highly zoned, and definitely usually have the odd dystopian tower block district.

      Irish cities tend to be more of a hodgepodge of everything.

      😆 Dublin too contrary for this stereotyping. No WWII Memorial Avenue due to … y’know. No one Cathedral to be a tourist trap with two Protestant tourist attractions slugging it out between them for attention in Christ Church and St Patrick’s, while the majority Catholic faith gets a *pro*Cathedral on what’s now a back street of the Main Street. No one central train station to be pigeon infested as Connolly and Heuston split the difference. Everything else—parks, cobblestones, housing, street art, shops—are all over the place. And the river has two syllables. 😂 Embrace the chaos cos that’s the way the Strumpet City rolls.

      None, really. Ireland doesn’t really have the postcard old towns you see in most European countries. Our town centers still mostly have cars and traffic going through them, and most of them certainly are not ‘postcardy’, especially compared to what you see in France or Spain or lots of others.

      Dublin’s definitely a good example.

      It works for every major European city though.

      Off the top of my head, you could apply this to Paris, Berlin, London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Prague, Budapest, all German and Polish cities that weren’t entirely destroyed, all major Dutch and Belgian cities.

      It doesn’t apply to southern Europe, as they love a good square.

      Dublin doesn’t fit it too badly.

      Temple Bar is the old town.

      Hipster brickwork is the glass works.

      Heuston & Connolly can be the station.

      IFSC is the suits and ties district.

      The spire, Guinness factory or Smithfield can serve as the tower.

      The halpenny is the loveable old bridge.

      Belfast?

      The WWII memorial would cut out most others.

      If it’s a single-syllable river you’re after, then it has to be Cork.

    23. svmk1987 on

      It’s not too far from Dublin. Move a couple of things and it’s bang on.

    28. EvenYogurtcloset2074 on

      None. We didn’t participate in World War II so don’t have street names commemorating it.
