This building used to house an Exhaust & Windscreen repair shop -- but the shop has moved on to another part of town and no one has bought this building yet. One of the more modern "ruins" around town.<br /><br />Also, I do apologise for my lack of posting. I've had some internet and computer problems lately, but it should be fixed now (well, the computer part I can promise; the internet, I can't). If you scroll down you can see some of my posts which I was able to recover and a few which I remembered to at least save the text and add the picture today.irishwandererhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11115728990246873428noreply@blogger.com34tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-112720942032447079.post-20275099130029554572007-05-28T21:19:00.000+00:002007-05-29T21:43:32.964+00:00President & Lord Mayors Pavilion<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6dnAjsIXWVv9J4IDaqIotAkoiAp-6d5QSlOyc0AsLNUO6IzmJTO5lVNls_xs56gKjlTPWWtNWeKYoe9kvdFE41cflEg7J6U6hVhef1hVGlhHxZ0rz2577sbmUI6E4b_947oDJXpQj7g0T/s1600-h/132+FP%3B+President+%26+Lord+Mayor%27s+Pavilion.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070095525121536066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6dnAjsIXWVv9J4IDaqIotAkoiAp-6d5QSlOyc0AsLNUO6IzmJTO5lVNls_xs56gKjlTPWWtNWeKYoe9kvdFE41cflEg7J6U6hVhef1hVGlhHxZ0rz2577sbmUI6E4b_947oDJXpQj7g0T/s320/132+FP%3B+President+%26+Lord+Mayor%27s+Pavilion.JPG" border="0" /></a> From when the the Cork International Exhibition was held in Fitzgerald Park in 1902 and 1903.

Patrick Street <em>is</em> the main street in Cork, though, since all the major shops are located on it. :)<br />This photo was taken at one of the several taxi stands along Patrick Street, facing two of the main department stores. On the right is the ever-so-posh Brown Thomas and to the left (the lovely domed, yellow building) is Roches Stores -- or, what <em>was</em> Roches before it was bought out and is now Debenhams.<br /><br />One historical note: both buildings were rebuilt after the <a href="http://www.corkcorp.ie/aboutcork/history/burning.shtml">burning of Cork</a> in 1920. If you want to know more about the history or architecture, there are plenty of resources on <a href="http://www.corkpastandpresent.ie/places/patrick_outline.shtml">Patrick Street</a>, the Brown Thomas <a href="http://www.corkpastandpresent.ie/places/patrick_buildings-cash.shtml">building</a> and the Roches <a href="http://www.corkpastandpresent.ie/places/patrick_buildings-roches.shtml">building</a>.irishwandererhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11115728990246873428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-112720942032447079.post-91091431318720005842007-05-09T23:12:00.000+00:002007-05-09T23:21:05.182+00:00Unusual Cork Wildlife<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2vKBjIozRcsgJZsjyK7GjhzIMY3OSJWGQu8yU-rh-CwWIeS1PQDdTetX8AZC0UdW18h1x2k5I6pPqrylbvDiF6h4zRuw5NVwloR3_P6sZyguDk_ZxzpGmVhR_HmGwOzMdrl2K7p7ZVKW8/s1600-h/106+Fota%3B+Giraffes+Don%27t+Care.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062702994253076962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2vKBjIozRcsgJZsjyK7GjhzIMY3OSJWGQu8yU-rh-CwWIeS1PQDdTetX8AZC0UdW18h1x2k5I6pPqrylbvDiF6h4zRuw5NVwloR3_P6sZyguDk_ZxzpGmVhR_HmGwOzMdrl2K7p7ZVKW8/s320/106+Fota%3B+Giraffes+Don%27t+Care.JPG" border="0" /></a> Dug around the archives for today's post and found this from a trip out to <a href="http://www.fotawildlife.ie/">Fota Wildlife Park</a> (about half-way from Cork to Cobh by train) in March.

It sounds very official, and very far away, but it's about a five minute walk from the bus station (and just slightly out of the way from there to the train station). I'll be posting more from my walking adventure later in the week. :)<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Also, yesterday's post showed up this morning, thanks to the internet in the apt. deciding to disappear just before midnight last night. So, do scroll down (if you haven't already) & take a little historical visit northward. </span>irishwandererhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11115728990246873428noreply@blogger.com0
